Description

The CALC ALG Zinc Rope 12 Inch is a sterile, absorbent calcium alginate dressing enhanced with zinc to support optimal wound healing. Its rope configuration allows precise placement in cavities, sinus tracts, and tunnels, providing effective coverage while maintaining a moist wound environment. The dressing absorbs exudate efficiently, transforming into a protective gel that cushions the wound and promotes natural tissue repair.

The zinc component provides additional antimicrobial and skin-protective properties, helping to reduce the risk of maceration and supporting wound edge integrity. The dressing is suitable for use on both non-infected and infected wounds, offering flexibility in clinical management of various wound types. Its absorptive capacity allows it to manage moderate to heavy exudate, absorbing approximately 20 times its own weight.

Constructed from calcium alginate and zinc, the dressing’s unique composition and weaving pattern facilitate easy, one-piece removal, minimizing trauma to newly formed tissue during dressing changes. The rope shape conforms naturally to wound contours, enabling secure placement and consistent contact with the wound bed.
