Alginate dressings are essential medical supplies designed for advanced wound care, particularly in managing exuding wounds. At LAC Health, our alginate category includes high-quality, sterile products such as calcium alginate dressings, which are derived from seaweed and form a gel when in contact with wound exudate. These dressings are ideal for use in hospitals, surgical centers, clinics, long-term care facilities, and home health settings, where they help maintain a moist wound environment to promote healing.
Key features of our alginate products include biocompatibility, absorbency, and hemostatic properties. Available in various sizes, such as 2×2 inches, 4×4 inches, and rope forms for packing, they conform to wound shapes and can be used under compression therapy. Specifications often include high gelling fiber content for superior absorption, ensuring they handle moderate to heavy exudate without leakage.
Clinically, alginate dressings are used for partial-thickness burns, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous leg ulcers. In hospitals and clinics, they support faster healing by providing a barrier against bacteria while allowing gas exchange. For home care, they offer ease of use with minimal dressing changes.
All our alginate products meet stringent regulatory standards, including FDA clearance for wound care applications, ISO 13485 certification for quality management systems, CE marking for European compliance, and ASTM standards for material safety. This ensures reliability for medical professionals.
Selecting the right alginate dressing involves considering wound size, exudate level, and patient needs. Our sizing guides help match products to specific cases, with options for different absorbency levels and antimicrobial variants. For bulk ordering, we offer wholesale pricing with volume discounts, minimum order quantities (MOQs) starting at 50 units, and contract pricing for large healthcare facilities. This makes LAC Health a preferred supplier for hospitals and clinics seeking cost-effective solutions.
Technical documentation is readily available, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for handling, Instructions for Use (IFU) for application, and certificates of compliance. Our fast shipping ensures timely delivery, with options for expedited service to meet urgent medical needs. Trust LAC Health for compliant, high-quality alginate dressings that support optimal patient outcomes in professional healthcare environments.
