Invacare Silver Alginate Dressing

Absorptive Dressings in wound care have become commonplace. In some medical Practices, they are used almost exclusively in the treatment of wounds. Absorptive dressings are evident in the clinical pathways of many wound care centers.

They are great for wounds with large amount of exudate because they can absorb over 20 times their weight.
