Device Description

Dermaphylyx Calcium Alginate Wound Dressings are soft, non-woven, and absorptive. The Dressings consist of calcium alginate fibers fabricated into a felt or rope configuration.

Dermaphylyx Calcium Alginate Wound Dressings are engineered to absorb substantial quantities of wound exudate. During the absorption of exudate the dressing forms a gel/fiber mat which provides an environment conducive to moist wound healing. The formation of the gel/fiber mat facilitates trauma free removal from the wound.
