Alginate Dressing
Alginate dressing is an advanced moist wound dressing, composed with
biodegradable, highly absorbent alginate fiber which is derived from seaweed,
available in flat and rope pattern. On contact with exudate, these dressings
form a moist gel through a process of ion exchange. They are soft and
conformable, easy to apply in cavity wounds or irregular-shaped wounds.
Alginate dressing with excellent absorption and good gel forming effect. The
alginate dressing consisting of calcium alginate, provide superior absorption
and ideally designed for all moderate to heavily exuding both superficial and
cavity wounds.

Alginate Dressing FAQs
Q.
How the dressing works?
A.
When in contact with wound exudate, calcium ions in the dressing exchange with
sodium ions in the exudate causing the dressing to transform from a dry,
fibrous state to a firm, moist gel. The dressing provides a moist environment
helping to create optimal wound-healing conditions and maintains its integrity
allowing for easy, atraumatic removal.

Q.
What the major clinical benefits of using the dressing?
A.
Absorbs large amount of exudate, enhances wear time and reduces dressing change
frequency.

Alginate fiber transforms to gel after absorbing exudate which reduces the risk
of maceration.

Does not adhere to wound site, can be easily removed without pain or trauma.

The unique dressing integrity makes for one-piece removal.

Q.
When to use alginate dressing?
A.
Alginate dressing is indicated for the moderate to heavily exuding chronic and
acute wounds with minor bleeding, such as diabetic foot ulcer, pressure ulcer,
leg venous and arterial ulcer, first and second degree burns, post-operative
wounds and traumatic wounds, absorbs large amount exudates, provides a moist
environment for wound bed and facilitates healing process. The flat alginate
dressing can be applied on shallow wounds. The alginate rope can be applied in
cavity wounds.

2) Do not use on dry wounds, heavy bleeding wounds as a primary dressing.

3) Do not use on surgical implantation.

4) Do not use on the patients with a known hypersensitivity to the product
itself or to its components.

Q.
How to use the dressing?
A.
Carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry surrounding skin. Alginate
dressing should be folded or cut to the shape of the wound and applied dry
directly. The Alginate dressing should then be covered with an appropriate
moisture retentive secondary dressing such as, but not limited to,Non-woven
dressings, Film dressing, Hydrocolloid dressing, or Foam dressing onto the
wound.
