Review: Pain-free release as an alternative to sterile gauze wound dressing - These bandages are so incredibly superior to basic gauze pads! Made from seaweed, they absorb fluids (exudate) from covered wounds and form a protective gel layer. Best of all, they don't stick to the wound, unlike normal gauze, making for much easier changing, cleaning, and wound maintenance; if at all sticky, just irrigate with some saline or sterile water, and they'll release. I don't understand why anyone, given the choice, would subject themselves to the pain and problems of normal gauze when there's a product like this available! After nearly landing myself in the ER thanks to a cotton gauze dressing sticking to a surgical incision and leading to fairly heavy bleeding that we just couldn't stop when removed, I did some research and discovered calcium alginate wound dressings. The Areza Medical dressings were among the least expensive offered on desertcart, and having tried several brands, I can say that they're just as good as others which cost twice as much or more. They also last longer than regular gauze dressings, as you typically will use less of them (you should trim the alginate dressing to the size and shape of the wound before lightly packing it in place) and will have to change them less frequently (consult your doctor, but once or twice a day is typical, vs. 3x or more for normal gauze). My understanding is that these are suitable for most wounds, including surgical incisions, which have moderate to heavy drainage and exudate; they should not be used on fairly dry wounds. (You may want to consult a wound care specialist in addition to your surgeon or primary care doctor, as the latter may not have much experience with alginate dressings--I actually read a few NIH studies to that effect, stating that surgeons by and large haven't kept up to date with wound dressing technologies.)
Review: Fantastic healing aid - My wife learned about calcium alginate a few years ago. She is bed-bound due to a stroke. She developed some pressure wounds on her back that wouldn't heal. Her home care nurse showed us how to use calcium alginate pads. They are amazing! They speed healing of wounds, even severe ones. They are easy to apply and work well if they are moistened with a wound cleansing solution. We use these on any kind of wound and it provides rapid healing. Highly recommend this product!

## Features

- HCPCS Code (PDAC-Verified): A6197 — Active Listing on DMECS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services – CMS). Important for DME (Durable Medical Equipment) Providers: Facilitates claim submissions to the DME MACs.
- ✅ SUPERIOR FLEXIBILITY & COMFORT: Experience Areza Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing Pads — designed to conform gently to the wound’s shape and stay in full contact with the wound surface for even, effective healing across the entire area.
- 🦠 PROTECTION FOR FASTER HEALING: Made from natural seaweed fibers, this calcium alginate dressing forms a soft, non-stick barrier that prevents infection and speeds healing. Superior to gauze, it maintains a moist environment for wounds with moderate to heavy drainage. Moisten with saline before use on dry or low-exudate wounds.
- ✂️ PAIN-FREE REMOVAL FOR EASY CARE: The moisture-preserving nature of alginate keeps it soft and non-adherent, reducing discomfort during dressing changes. Areza Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing absorbs wound discharge, becoming moist, non-stick, and easy to remove. If it feels dry, moisten with saline or a wound cleanser before removal.
- 💧 HIGH ABSORBENCY FOR LONG-LASTING PROTECTION: Areza Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing absorbs up to 20× its weight in wound fluid. It keeps the wound moist, softens dead tissue, and eases cleaning or debridement. Unlike gauze that dries and sticks, alginate stays moist and non-adherent for gentle, effective healing.
- 🩹 VERSATILE FOR MANY WOUND TYPES: Areza Calcium Alginate Dressing (4.25″ × 4.25″) is ideal for wounds with moderate to heavy discharge such as diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, and post-surgical wounds. Easy to use and can be cut to fit any wound size. For dry wounds, moisten before use. After placement, secure with gauze, gauze rolls, tubular, or secondary dressing. Perfect for first aid kits and everyday wound care.
- LATEX Test Result: Not Detectable (ASTM D6499-18 Inhibition ELISA). Performed at A2LA Accredited Lab (USA).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: do these have boarders like mepilex 4x4 and why so much cheaper ! this would be great!**
A: Mepilex is like a sophisticated BandAid.  The adhesives are particularly suited for areas around a wound: secure, but not too secure so they will stay on well but can be removed without tearing or pulling.  At least that's our experience.  
 If the wound leaks or oozes or otherwise drains, then some Calcium Alginate (at least in our situation) is used for additional absorption.
 There may be no way around using Mepilex, but in our experience there is nothing like it.

**Q: Are there really 10  4x4 pieces in the  box?  Sometimes pictures are misleading and then when it is ordered there is only 1 in the Box.**
A: 10 dressings of 4”x4” in the Box.

**Q: Is this product comparable to alginate  wound dressing with the medihoney??**
A: Greetings. This product does not contain medihoney. It only contains calcium alginate (100%). Thank you.

**Q: Cancel auto delivery**
A: They are individually packaged

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miracle Bandage!
*by C***T on July 25, 2022*

I have hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and this is a miracle bandage! My abcesses would get to the point that I couldn’t take the pain anymore and would end up in the ER to get them cut open and drained. Mind you, with no anesthesia! Because it don’t work for me. But searching through Amazon, I came upon these bandages and thought hmmmm, it says it helps pull the drainage out. So, thought I give them a try and OMG they work! Within just a couple days, it pulled the nasty right out and I was no longer in such extreme pain from the swelling and tunneling that comes with having HS! I was crying in such happy tears and floored! No more being cut open in most cases deep within my skin! I absolutely love these!!!!
