Product Overview
Gentell Calcium Alginate Ag Rope Dressing, 12", is a highly absorbent wound care dressing infused with silver (Ag) for antimicrobial protection.

Features:
- Silver-Infused: Contains ionic silver for broad-spectrum antimicrobial action to help prevent infection.
- High Absorbency: Calcium alginate fibers absorb excess wound exudate and form a gel-like layer to maintain a moist wound environment.
- Conforms to Wound Shape: Rope format allows easy packing into cavities, tunnels, or deep wounds.
- Hemostatic Properties: Aids in controlling minor bleeding by promoting clot formation.
- Non-Adherent: Minimizes trauma during dressing removal.
- Sterile and Latex-Free: Safe for sensitive skin and designed for single-use applications.

Use Suggestion:
Ideal for packing deep or irregular wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and surgical wounds. Apply loosely into the wound cavity, ensuring the dressing does not overpack the wound. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing to secure and absorb excess exudate. Change as needed based on exudate levels or clinical assessment.
