MED PRIDE Silver Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing, 10-Pack | Highly Absorbent, Nonstick, Seaweed, Easy Removal (4'' x 5'' Silver)

Silver Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing is what i came home from the doctors off to cover and help heal a wound on my ankle. supposedly the silver Calcium Alginate keeps down infection. Hard to tell when i had to change them once a day. I really like that amazon sells them too when i run low until everything is cleared up.

My husband has had veinous ulcers on his ankles for over a decade. Medical treatment produced only debt and no real healing so I consulted Dr. Google. We eventually tried colloidal silver which was of some help, but never quite healed the wounds, then I came across this stuff. It took almost six months of regular treatment, but the original two wounds appear to be completely healed. I just cut a piece big enough to cover the open wound and wind stretchy gauze bandage around the ankle to hold the piece in place.This product can't prevent new wounds from breaking out but at least I hope we have finally found something that will keep them from getting bad. Non-professional advice based on using the product: These are meant to be used as a treatment and not to absorb fluid, so don't use them like a gauze pad. They might stick to the wound so make sure the old patch is completely removed from the wound before applying a new one.

Quality is good but expensive

I have cellulitis on my left leg and dress the wound myself. My cellulitis worsened and I was referred to a wound center, where one time per week Silver Alginate dressings are applied. I continue this process at home until the next visit. The Silver Alginate is drying the wound resulting in less drainage and with its anti-bacterial properties is helping with the healing process. My initial order was placed by the wound center resulting in a bill that was 6x the price for the same strength and size (4x4) product. Since I have not met my insurance deductible, I am paying the bill. I turned to Amazon and found this and other supplies needed at tremendous savings and expedient delivery, so I am regularly ordering until I am healed.

Great for bedsores! After trying other products for over a month had no effect on my bedsores A nurse started treating me with this exact product and my bedsores healed. It os the NON ADHESIVE VERSION OF THE PRODUCT. It was awesome. I was starting to develop another sore recently and purchased this identical product on Amazon and within a couple of days the sore started healing. I usethe version of the product that is not adhesive. I am using it under an adhesive pad so that nothing adhesive is touching the sore.

Good product, repeat order so many times

I have nothing to compare it to but it worked as promised. Covered the wound, absorbed fluid, helped heal the wound.
