Gentell’s Calcium Alginate Rope Dressing is a sterile, comfortable, advanced fiber-structured alginate with a highly absorbent capacity. Alginate dressings absorb, collect and contain exudate while providing a moist healing environment. A reaction between the calcium in the dressing and the sodium in the wound exudate creates a gel-like substance that promotes moist wound healing. May be used on deep cavity wounds, such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and surgical wounds with heavy drainage.

• Rope is easily packed, molded and folded to fit size of wound
• Uniformly absorbs, collects, and contains up to 20 times its weight in wound exudate
• Fluid wicks vertically into dressing, minimizing the chance for maceration

Directions:

1. Irrigate wound with Gentell Wound Cleanser and gently dry the skin around the wound.
2. Place the Gentell Calcium Alginate Rope in the wound bed. Do not alter the dressing so that it does not become frayed or fibrous.
3. Cover wound with a secondary dressing such as Gentell Super Absorbent, Gentell Comfortell or Gentell Bordered Foam Dressing.
4. Repeat daily or as ordered by a physician.
