Covidien Curasorb Zinc Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing

Covidien/Kendall Curasorb Zinc Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing Per Case

Covidien/Kendall Curasorb Zinc Calcium Alginate Dressings are designed to interact with sodium in wounds to create an ionic exchange and help jump-start the epitheliazation process. These unique dressings also feature the added benefits of zinc. The dressings absorb approximately 20 times their weight in exudate. They are easy and painless to remove with minimal tissue trauma.

• Gel Block Feature with unique fiber configuration encourages vertical wicking which pulls exudates straight through the dressing allowing more efficient exudate removal
• Highly Absorbent fluid binding that absorbs up to 20 times its weight in exudate maximizing wound fluid retention and removal. Allows fewer dressing changes
• Dressing maintains integrity allowing fast and easy removal and clean up
• Minimal Shrinkage helps prevent maceration of periwound
• Unique Calcium to Sodium Ratio that proliferates sodium - calcium exchange with the wound: Donates calcium to the wound and removes sodium from wound helping to regulate wound bed
• Isotonic Sodium configuration is gentle on the wound
• High Calcium Levels speed hemostasis
• Stable Gel Formula with higher percentage of guluronic levels allows easier removal and minimizes tissue trauma. Maximizes patient comfort during removal and debridement
• Contains 0.2% zinc. It is the only alginate that also includes zinc. It is believed that zinc helps in the wound healing cascade. Zinc aids in cellular migration and mitosis. Zinc may also contribute to building and generating new cell growth which is essential for filling dead space and healing.
