ALGISITE M helps utilize the proven benefits of moist wound management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe production of a gel by the action of exudate on the alginate fibers creates a moist wound environment at the wound surface. This helps prevent eschar formation and promotes an optimal moist wound environment. The dressing allows wound contraction to occur, which may help reduce scarring and also allows gaseous exchange necessary for a healthy wound bed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-vitro studies have shown that ALGISITE M can absorb 13 times its own weight in exudate. This allows the dressing to remain in the wound for up to 7 days, depending on the nature of the wound and the volume of exudate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eALGISITE M is very soft and conformable, allowing it to be molded, folded or cut to meet a wide range of wound shapes and sizes. As the fibers gel, an even more intimate contact with the wound is produced and maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALPHA SPORT_1","offers":[{"title":"DEFAULT TITLE","offer_id":41901224067146,"sku":"AS-66000519","price":142.89,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/6556\/2954\/files\/WEB-AMCA.jpg?v=1756288120","url":"https:\/\/wodeton.com.au\/products\/smith-nephew-algisite-m-calcium-alginate-dressing-5x5cm-10","provider":"Wodeton.com.au","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
