Description
Gentell’s Calcium Alginate Rope Dressing is a sterile, comfortable, advanced fiber-structured alginate with a highly absorbent capacity. Alginate dressings absorb, collect and contain exudate while providing a moist healing environment. A reaction between the calcium in the dressing and the sodium in the wound exudate creates a gel-like substance that promotes moist wound healing. May be used on deep cavity wounds, such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and surgical wounds with heavy drainage.
- Rope is easily packed, molded and folded to fit size of wound
- Uniformly absorbs, collects, and contains up to 20 times its weight in wound exudate
- Fluid wicks vertically into dressing, minimizing the chance for maceration
Directions:
- Irrigate wound with Gentell Wound Cleanser and gently dry the skin around the wound.
- Place the Gentell Calcium Alginate Rope in the wound bed. Do not alter the dressing so that it does not become frayed or fibrous.
- Cover wound with a secondary dressing such as Gentell Super Absorbent, Gentell Comfortell or Gentell Bordered Foam Dressing.
- Repeat daily or as ordered by a physician.
