Review on Alginate Absorbent Antibacterial Dressings MedvanceTM Outdoor Recreation by Brian Whitmore

Dressing strips are easy to apply and can cover the incision directly without the need to cut or adjust the sterile drape, which can be unnecessarily large. The 12 inch length can cover most cuts with one strip. The antibacterial properties of the dressing can speed healing and reduce concerns about possible infection. Removal is less difficult even if dry adhesion occurs. In such cases, you can simply moisten the strips with a sterile liquid (salt water) due to their absorbency, so that they can be easily removed without much effort.
