Description
Melgisorb Plus: Product Overview
Melgisorb Plus is designed to absorb large amounts of wound exudate. As it absorbs, the alginate fibers form a soft, moist gel that creates a moist environment, which is essential for wound healing. The gel can be easily removed by irrigating with 0.9% saline.
The dressing is soft, pliable, and conformable, and it can be cut to shape to fit various wound types. It is non-sensitizing and intended for use on a wide range of wounds, both infected and non-infected.

How to Use Melgisorb Plus
Dressing Change and Removal
-
Change the dressing when saturation is reached. Melgisorb Plus can be left in place for several days, depending on the wound condition or as indicated by clinical practice.
-
Remove the secondary dressing and dispose of it appropriately.
-
Remove Melgisorb Plus by gently cleansing or flushing with 0.9% saline or an appropriate solution. Any non-gelled Melgisorb Plus will moisten upon contact with saline. Dispose of the soiled dressing according to your institution’s policy.
