Molnlycke Melgisorb Plus Alginate Dressing (5cm, 10cm & 10x20cm) – High absorbency for exuding wounds

Molnlycke Melgisorb Plus is a soft, highly absorbent, sterile calcium sodium alginate dressing designed to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds. On contact with wound fluid, it transforms into a cohesive gel that conforms to the wound bed, helping maintain a moist healing environment while staying intact for easier removal. This makes it a reliable choice for clinicians, carers, and home users seeking effective exudate management with reduced trauma during dressing changes.

Melgisorb Plus is particularly useful for wounds at risk of maceration or those requiring strong absorbency. Its improved wet strength ensures the dressing can be removed in one piece, simplifying wound care routines and enhancing patient comfort.

 

Why choose Molnlycke Melgisorb Plus?

Melgisorb Plus offers enhanced absorption capacity compared to standard alginate dressings. It absorbs and retains wound exudate while minimising lateral wicking, reducing the risk of maceration to surrounding skin. The dressing gels on contact with exudate or saline, ensuring non-adherence to the wound site upon removal.
