Ag Silver Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing Pads, 4''x4'' Patches, 10 Individual Pack, Soft Silver Dressings for Wound Care, Gentle Highly Absorbent Dressing, Non Stick Gauze Pads for Wounds

I have to admit that I had my doubts about this stuff. I'm not the type of guy who buys the latest healthcare fads, having successfully avoided St. John's wort, kale, etc. When my husband's podiatrist recommended a brandname of this to help a slow-healing wound, I raised an eyebrow but decided to give it a try. When we couldn't find or get the brand name, he said to look for silver alginate, so I ordered this.This stuff absolutely helped things heal faster. It is absorbent, so excess fluids that might seep from a wound are absorbed. According to my husband's doctor, it also stimulates re-growth of skin tissues to help the wound close better. All I can say for sure is that we saw a difference very quickly.We have since used it other times my elderly husband's fragile skin has ripped, and this helps the wounds heal quickly and cleanly. It sometimes sticks to the wound, but taking a shower or something like that will soften things so that it comes off easily for changing.All that said, this is a medical product, so you should listen to what your doctor/practitioner says and follow their instructions.

As a home health nurse with extensive wound care experience, I’ve worked with many silver calcium alginate dressings—and these Ag Silver Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing Pads stand out for all the right reasons.Unlike many other brands, these pads do not rip or disintegrate easily during application or removal. This is especially critical when managing deep or tunneling wounds, where softer, flimsier alginate dressings tend to tear and leave fibers behind—a dangerous setup for infection. With these, I’ve had zero issues with remnants being left in the wound, making dressing changes safer and more efficient for both patient and provider.The material is soft yet structurally sound, and it conforms well to the wound bed. It’s highly absorbent, controls exudate effectively, and the antimicrobial silver offers added protection against infection. My patients tolerate it well, and I appreciate the confidence it gives me when treating complex wounds.This is now a go-to product in my wound care arsenal, and I highly recommend it to both clinicians and caregivers looking for a dressing that truly holds up to the demands of deep, draining wounds.

These patches were recommended by my Cardiologist. I have neuropathy resulting in a ulcer on the bottom of my foot. After a couple months of little to no progress we started using these patches. Finally after 2 weeks we were seeing signs of new skin growth. This was great because if they had not worked a skin graph would have been my next option. This has been my experience as suggested by my doctor. You should always consult with your doctor for medical care. These work, delivered on time fir a fair price.

Good price for Silver Alginate . A little thin but effective enough for light bleeding

I had surgery several months ago, then there were problems with wound healing. My surgeon recommended these as an antimicrobial to help with keeping the opening free from germs as the healing process continued. They work well, I am confident in this product.

My daughter has a continuous infection in her lymph system. This periodically causes extreme fluid build up and causes the skin to break open. Once the fluid has drained. She used the silver algenate pads to heal the skin. Within several days, the skin is together. I can only say that she says it works

Excellent product for a tricky wound that wouldn’t heal. I alternated with this and medical honey dressing and within a week it was healing

I had some nasty wounds which were not healing. I used a wash from Amazon and then placed this gauze over it and wrapped with an ace bandage. After two days of cleaning twice a day they are finally looking better and healing up. Silver is a great would healer and this just proved it to me. With out this it was just getting worse and worse. The pain is almost all gone and I am sleeping better knowing that I found something that works. It's expensive though... so glad I have 14 I am sure I wont use them all this time around. Will keep them on hand though for just in case in the future. These do not have any sticky parts so you will need tape or a wrap to keep it on. My only gripe is that the would was scabbing over so quickly overnight that I had to wet it all down well to ease it off the wound part. If you have a stubborn wound which doesn't look like it wants to heal maybe give these a try.
