Medline Maxorb Extra Ag Silver Calcium Alginate Dressing - 1" x 12" Rope (CASE/20)

Medline Maxorb Extra Ag Silver CMC/Alginate Dressing in rope format combines calcium alginate with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) for superior performance in deep, cavity, or tunneling wounds. This 1" x 12" flexible rope is ideal for packing narrow wound channels.

Key Features:
• Flexible 1" x 12" rope format for deep wound packing
• Combination of high-G calcium alginate and CMC for strength
• Antimicrobial ionic silver with controlled-release technology
• Maintains wet strength for intact removal without fragmentation
• Highly absorbent—absorbs 15-20x its weight in exudate
• Vertical wicking prevents lateral fluid spread
• Up to 21 days of continuous silver ion release
• Biocompatible and non-irritating to healthy tissue
• Reduces wound odor and bioburden
• Latex-free

Clinical Advantages:
The CMC component enhances wet strength, ensuring the dressing remains intact during removal—critical for cavity and tunneling wounds. The rope format allows precise packing of narrow or irregular wound shapes without excess material.

Indications: Deep, cavity, and tunneling wounds with moderate to heavy drainage. Suitable for pressure injuries, leg ulcers, diabetic foot wounds, post-surgical cavities, and infected wounds requiring antimicrobial control.

Application: Gently pack the rope into the wound cavity, allowing slight overfill. Secondary dressing secures and absorbs overflow. Change per drainage levels, typically 2-5 times weekly.
