Description

Alginate dressings are excellent sterile wound dressings composed of calcium alginate for use on moderately to heavily exuding wounds.

When applied to a wound there will be an ion-exchange between the calcium in the dressing and sodium from the exudate, forming a soluble calcium/sodium alginate gel. The free calcium ions in the wound will amplify the clotting cascade and can reduce bleeding. The interaction with the wound exudates will create a protective gel that is nonadherent and creates a moist wound healing environment.

Features:

  • Highly absorbent- capable of absorbing 10-20 times its weight
  • Maintains a moist environment
  • Easy application and removal
  • Excellent wet strength
