Product Overview
Designed for High Absorption & Intact Removal
NU-DERM™ Alginate Dressing is a sterile, non woven pad consisting of high G (guluronic acid) alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fibre. Designed with gelling capabilities, it enables intact removal while providing high absorbency.
This soft non-woven alginate dressing absorbs excess fluid, and protects and covers the wound bed, helping to create a moist environment for chronic and superficial wounds. The dressing does not dissolve, facilitating intact removal.
NU-DERM™ Alginate Dressing was developed to manage moderate to heavily exuding chronic wounds and control minor bleeding in superficial acute wounds.
• Highly absorbent
• Helps maintain a moist wound healing environment
• Facilitates intact removal
• Minimizes the need for wound irrigation at dressing change, freeing up time
Specific indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and safety information exist for KCI products and therapies. Healthcare providers should review the product User Manual, Safety Information and/or Instructions for Use prior to application.
• Strength
Even when the dressing is moist, as a gelled fiber, its structure remains intact. The high vertical absorption of exudate into the fiber dressing protects the wound edge, thus supporting the healing process.
• Wet Tensile Strength
NU-DERM-Alginate-Wet-Tensile-Strength.pngIn vitro data demonstrates that dressing tensile strength is maintained when wet to facilitate intact removal and minimize the need for wound irrigation at dressing change.
• Easily Cut or Folded
NU-DERM™ Alginate Dressing can be cut or folded to accommodate the wound bed profile, filling dead space and helping to minimize pooling. (https://www.acelity.com/)
