Alginate dressings produced from seaweed, absorb exudate and help to stop bleeding. They absorb exudate away from the wound whilst maintaining an ideal moist wound healing environment.
The moist wound environment facilitated by alginates promotes debridement of devitalised tissue, thereby assisting in wound bed preparation. The alginate fibers form a gel when in contact with exudate, and help to support the control of minor bleeding.
The silver in the dressing kills a broad spectrum of wound bacteria. This dressing absorbs high amounts of wound fluid and bacteria and creates a soft, cohesive gel that intimately conforms to the wound surface, maintains a moist environment and aids in the removal of non-viable tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement).
Features
Manages higher levels of exudate (absorbency)
- Longer wear time,Reduces the risk of maceration
Maintains a moist wound healing environment
- Faster wound healing
High wet strength
-Intact removal,Minimal residues in the wound bed
Non-adherent
-Less trauma on removal
Retains exudate
-Reduced risk of maceration
Indications
Alginate dressings can be used on moderately to heavily exuding wounds including:
•Pressure injuries (Stage I-IV)
•Venous ulcers
•Arterial and diabetic ulcers
•Donor sites
•Superficial burn wounds
•Lacerations and abrasions
•Traumatic wounds
•After surgical wound debridement
