Alginate Dressing
WOUND DRESSING
Key Features
Natural Origin & Structure - Derived from **calcium-sodium salts of seaweed** (brown algae), forming soft, non-woven fibers that gel upon contact with wound exudate.
High Absorbency & Gel Formation - Absorbs up to **20 times its weight** in fluid, creating a moist environment that promotes autolytic debridement and accelerates granulation tissue formation.
Hemostatic Properties - Releases calcium ions upon contact with wound fluid, aiding in blood clotting and reducing minor bleeding (ideal for post-operative or traumatic wounds).
Exudate Management - Converts absorbed fluid into a cohesive gel, preventing maceration while managing moderate to heavy exudate in chronic or infected wounds.
Biodegradable & Non-Toxic - Naturally breaks down in the wound bed, eliminating residue and minimizing trauma during dressing changes.
Non-Adherent & Painless Removal - Gel layer prevents sticking to the wound surface, ensuring gentle removal without disrupting healing tissue.
Sterile & Versatile Sizing - Available in pre-cut sheets, ropes, or ribbons for packing cavities, tunnels, or irregular wounds (e.g., pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers).
Biocompatible & Hypoallergenic - Suitable for sensitive skin and reduces allergic reactions compared to synthetic dressings.
