More absorbent than traditional gauze, the Vive Care calcium alginate wound dressing pads cover and protect wounds to promote healing. The unique calcium alginate absorbs up to 13 times its weight, making it ideal for heavily exuding traumatic and surgical wounds. The wound dressing also creates a protective, gel-like barrier that keeps the wound moist to encourage natural healing. Easy to apply and remove without damaging the surrounding skin, the flexible wound dressing pads can be trimmed to fit and will not irritate or stick to the wound site for greater comfort.

How to use:

Choose the right size of dressing to cover the wound according to the wound area. The dressing may be cut or folded for best fit.
Cover and secure the VIVECARE Calcium Alginate Dressing with a secondary dressing.
Dressing change frequency will depend on patient condition and the level of exudates. Initially it may be necessary to change the dressing every 24 hours. When the exudates reduce, the frequency may be slowed down.
Dressing Removal: Gently remove the secondary dressing. If the wound appears dry, saturate the dressing with sterile saline water prior to removal.
