Algidex Ag Packing Gauze (1/2" x 5 yd) is designed for wounds that need antimicrobial protection and effective packing in narrow or deep spaces. The silver alginate formula helps reduce bacterial growth while the dressing absorbs moisture and forms a soft gel inside the wound. This helps maintain a balanced healing environment and supports clean, consistent progress. Healthcare teams across the U.S. use this type of gauze in hospitals, wound clinics, and surgical follow-up care.

The narrow width makes it easy to place into tunnels, undermined areas, and small cavity wounds without bunching. It conforms to the space and stays comfortable under a secondary dressing. The long roll lets clinicians cut exactly the amount needed for each dressing change, reducing waste and improving ease of use.

What types of wounds is silver alginate packing gauze used for?

It’s commonly used for tunneling wounds, cavity wounds, pressure injuries with depth, and post-surgical wounds that require controlled packing and antimicrobial support.

What does the silver in the dressing do?

Silver ions help reduce bacterial growth on the dressing, which supports a cleaner healing environment—especially important for deep or hard-to-reach wounds.

How does the alginate material behave once it’s inside the wound?

Alginate absorbs drainage and turns into a soft gel. This helps the dressing fill the space comfortably and keeps moisture balanced without sticking to the tissue.

How should this packing gauze be removed?

It’s usually removed in one piece during the next dressing change. If it has gelled heavily, gentle irrigation helps lift it out without irritating the wound.
