What makes Algidex different from other antimicrobial dressings? One of the main differences is that some other brands use topical antiseptics like Chlorhexadine or Betadine, which can be absorbed into your skin. Algidex is not absorbed into your body, thus reducing risks of systemic effects, skin irritation and life threatening allergic reactions that have been reported with the use of the above mentioned antiseptics.
