PRLog (Press Release) - Apr. 12, 2012 - ATLANTA -- MediPurpose(r), a medical product master distributor and manufacturer, today introduced MediPlus(tm) Alginate wound dressings, the latest product offering in its MediPlus(tm) Advanced Wound Care portfolio.

"Comparable to Algisite(r) & Melgisorb(r), MediPlus Alginate dressings are available at very competitive prices in 4" x 4-3/4", 4" x 8" and 3/4" x 12" (rope) sizes," said MediPurpose Executive Vice President Michael Riddle.

MediPlus Alginate wound dressings are indicated for use in the management of a wide range of chronic and traumatic wounds-including minor burns, donor sites, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers and surgical wounds. Alginates are also suitable for use in deep wounds and to control bleeding in superficial acute wounds.
