Cardinal Health Reinforced Gelling Fiber dressings are sterile, non-woven calcium/sodium alginates consisting of a high M alginate in a cohesive fiber construction. As wound fluid is absorbed, the alginate forms a gel, which assists in maintaining a moist environment for optimal wound healing and the formation of granulation tissue.

• Highly absorbent gelling fibers wick and retain exudate away from the wound bed
• Cohesive fiber construction facilitates easy intact/ one-piece atraumatic removal
