Patient Management

After the wound care clinician performs sharp debridement, a 4-cm-deep cavity has heavy serosanguineous exudate and slight capillary oozing from the base. The periwound is intact. Using the product comparison, which primary dressing should the wound care associate prepare as BEST suited?

Primary dressings stocked in the clinic
Dressing	Absorbency	Fills a cavity	Other property
Foam sheet	Moderate to heavy	No (flat sheet)	Cushions and insulates
Calcium alginate rope	Heavy	Yes	Calcium–sodium ion exchange aids hemostasis
Gelling fiber ribbon	Heavy	Yes	Locks fluid in a gel; limits lateral wicking
Amorphous hydrogel	None (donates moisture)	Yes	Rehydrates dry tissue
