Review: These heal pressure sores very fast along with the "SkinSmart Antimicrobial Wound Therapy" spray. We were given the wound sprays "Aloe Vesta Perineal/Skin Cleanser" that washed the sores clean but nothing would heal no matter what techniques we would try. The worst pressure sores you can think of that drill into a deep hole would not heal and we were not told about these Calcium Alginate pads. I'm not sure why the wound care centers or would nurses know about them. If they do, they are not telling anyone about them. What we do, we clean the wound, pat it dry. You get a really thick pink saf that's like a baby's diaper rash cream. I can give you what we use that you can find on desertcart and that's "Medline Remedy Olivamine Calazime Skin Protectant Paste Cream" and spread that thickly around the sore area. Then you spray the wound with your antimicrobial after cleaning and you can wipe with a baby wipe to remove any debris first. Then you take the CAD pad and place it directly over the wound. Place your bandages over that pad to keep any fluids from getting it soiled and then use a good tape. We like abdominal pads because they fold out and are really thick, absorb well and cover a large area. The tapes we like are "Medipore H Soft Cloth Surgical Tape 3" x 10 Yards". When you tape and remove, it doesn't hurt the skin. None of them stay on when wet even the ones with the plastic window with white tapes you pull off around the size by 3m. None of them work once an area gets wet. If you are lucky to have these on your feet and legs, you can easily keep them dry. A lot of people have these in areas where urine and stool are surrounding the area causing infections regularly especially uti's. Wound care centers do not really seem to know how to handle these types of wounds and most of the RNs working on them are making up techniques as they go along. The doctors refuse to treat them or even look at them. So, good luck. I hope that helps. I have closed a number of stage 4 ulcers up. They are incredibly hard to handle and you should not bother them if the outside is not soiled. Wound nurses will leave the bandage on for 2 to 3 days if the outside is not soiled since that drainage is healing the wound. If you keep bothering the sore, you are going to wipe off the tissue that is healing the wound. Think of it like a natural bandage, it's healing itself up if you can keep it clean and covered. I was taught to change them every time the bandage looks soiled and it was not healing. The minute I listened to the other RN's at another hospital, it began to heal. Nobody knows how to treat these, lets just say that right now. They are all playing it by ear and I have heard from an ER doctor face to face telling me she has NEVER seen a doctor heal them or a RN at their hospital. Use the Internet to help you research and visit the wound care nurses that deal with these every day. They will know how to heal them. Review: Es bueno, simplemente lo que esperaba ## Features - OVERCOMES GAUZE PADS IN ALL MODES: Much more flexible, absorbent, and skin-friendly, our advanced calcium alginate pads are a far superior choice to gauze, on all fronts. - NATURAL ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES: Medpride alginate dressings exhibit antimicrobial properties thanks to the natural calcium ions that come with seaweed fibers (alginate). Our cushions offer not only comfort, but also a greater healing factor. - PAIN-FREE REMOVATION: In contrast to normal gauze that can stick to skin, irritate or scratch, our alginate wound pads won't stick. Creating a layer of natural protective gel that preserves optimal moisture, our pads provide a perfect, painless replacement and removal. - HIGHER ABSORPTION EFFICIENCY: Thanks to the natural properties of the seaweed fiber layer, our dressing is up to 20 times more absorbent than gauze. The result is a more comfortable and much more economical dressing choice. - HIGHLY VERSATILE AND EFFECTIVE HEALING: From infected wounds without leaks to chronic or acute wounds/with strong exudate, silver calcium alginate dressing is the ideal choice for everything; venous ulcers, diabetic wounds/ulcers, cysts, post-surgical wounds, etc. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07PK5V1CT | | ASIN | B07PK5V1CT | | Brand | MED PRIDE | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,520) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,520) | | Date First Available | 10 October 2020 | | Manufacturer | Shield Line | | Manufacturer reference | 65214 | | Package Dimensions | 16.79 x 15.29 x 2.9 cm; 18 g | | Units | 10 Count | ## Images ![Calcium Alginate 4.25" X 4.25" Wound Pads | 10 Pack, Antimicrobial, Non-Stick, Sterile, Highly Absorbent & Comfortable | Flexible And Gentle On Skin, - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PkNdfT6yL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this contain any latex?** A: Not that I know of. It is basically an calcium alginate pad that you place on a wound then use tape or gauze to keep in place . **Q: What side should be put on the wound---does it matter? The clear packaging or the logo side when opening?** A: Put the non logo side on the wound **Q: expiration date** A: What about the expiration date? **Q: Should I change the pad once it's fully saturated?** A: In the first month I was changing the whole bandages five times a day. As the infection was improving then I was able to change my bandages four times,, and eventually down to three, then, two,then one. I also used gauze and abdominal pads. The infection and wound healed a lot faster ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***7 on 10 April 2022* These heal pressure sores very fast along with the "SkinSmart Antimicrobial Wound Therapy" spray.
