Dynarex DynaGinate Calcium Alginate Wound Dressings - Highly Absorbent, Gentle, Sterile Dynarex's DynaGinate Calcium Alginate Dressings transform into a soft, fibrous gel upon contact with wound exudate-creating an optimal moist environment that supports natural debridement and faster healing. They mold closely to the wound bed without sticking, reducing pain and trauma during dressing changes. Ideal as primary dressings, these sterile, non?stick pads are designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds-such as pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, venous insufficiency, and surgical wounds-particularly at stages 3 and 4. Convenient single?use peel?packets keep each pad sterile until applied.
