GemCore360 Reinforced Alginate Dressing Features
- High Wet Tensile Strength
– The reinforced dressing is easily removed intact with minimal pain for the patient - Highly Absorbent
– When applied to a wound, the sodium-calcium ion exchange changes into a clear hydrophilic water-absorbing soft gel with an excellent absorption rate (22.7 g/100 cm 2 /24 hr). This helps reduce the number of dressing changes, provides increase wear time (up to 7 days) and reduce the risk of maceration - Reduced Lateral Wicking
– Exudate is absorbed vertically into the dressing and retained in a gel, whereby reducing the risk of maceration and damage to the periwound skin - Bioabsorbable
– Any residual fibers that may be left in the wound pose no risk to the patient - Soft, Conformable To Wear
– Allows patients to continue with their daily activities
