About MED PRIDE Calcium Alginate 4.25 x 4.25 Wound Dressing Pads
Overall Feedback:
82% positive
84% appreciated its high absorbency, but 16% found it wasn't enough
The product is thin and absorbent enough to be inserted into the wound.
I am impressed with how the wound dressing absorbs drainage without leaving the wound area overly moist. It has a natural seaweed fiber which causes the gunky texture.
The pads are large enough to cover most of the area, absorb wound moisture, and do not cause any irritation.
I suggest using calcium alginate to control the drainage of the wound.
