More absorbent than traditional gauze, the Vive Care calcium alginate wound dressing pads cover and protect wounds to promote healing. The unique calcium alginate absorbs up to 13 times its weight, making it ideal for heavily exuding traumatic and surgical wounds. The wound dressing also creates a protective, gel-like barrier that keeps the wound moist to encourage natural healing. Easy to apply and remove without damaging the surrounding skin, the flexible wound dressing pads can be trimmed to fit and will not irritate or stick to the wound site for greater comfort.
