Roosin Silver Calcium Alginate Dressing/ Roosin Alginate Dressing with Preservative is a sterile, non-woven pad composed of a high G (guluronic acid) calcium alginate and silver particles, which absorbs wound exudate and releases silver in the presence of wound fluid. As wound exudate is absorbed, the alginate forms a gel, which assists in maintaining a moist environment for optimal wound healing, and allows intact removal. The alginate material consists of silver that controls bacterial growth within the dressing. Based on in vitro laboratory testing, the silver has been shown to protect the dressing against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus pyogenes. The in vitro test was for one day only, so the user is advised to change the dressing every day for antibacterial preservative use. The dressing has an off-white appearance and is available in the form of pad and in three different sizes (50 mm x 50 mm, 60 x 70 mm, 100 mm, 100 mm, 100 mm x 150 mm, and 20 mm x 300 mm), packaged in pouches. Additional sizes may also be manufactured per customer request. All dressings have the exactly the same material, chemical, and physical properties and are different only in size. All dressings are sterilized and sold directly to users after sterilization by radiation using conditions validated following ISO 11137-2: 2006.
