ALGISITE M is made of fast-gelling, high mannuronic acid fibers from calcium alginate, which is extracted and purified from a natural, renewable source – seaweed. When exudate comes into contact with ALGISITE M, it forms a hydrophilic gel that remains in intimate contact with the wound surface, helping to create and maintain a moist wound environment. Faster, cleaner dressing changes result in less nursing time because once gelled the dressing stays stronger, longer.For OTC applications, ALGISITE M is indicated for the management of minor conditions such as lacerations, abrasions, skin tears and minor burns. Under the care of a healthcare professional, ALGISITE M is indicated for the management of full and partial thickness wounds including leg ulcers, pressure ulcer, diabetic foot ulcers and surgical wounds.
