Medical Sterile Alginate Dressing Alginate Wound Dressing
Characteristics
High Absorbency
Absorbs 15 - 20 times its weight in exudate, ideal for wounds with moderate to heavy discharge, preventing skin maceration.
Moist - Healing Environment
Forms a gel on contact with exudate, maintaining a moist wound site that speeds up cell processes for faster healing.
Biocompatible
Made from natural alginate, it's non - toxic, well - tolerated by the body, and any residue can be absorbed.
Conformable & Self - Adhesive
Easily adapts to body contours and often self - adheres, ensuring good contact with the wound.
Hemostatic
Releases calcium ions to promote blood clotting in minor bleeding wounds.
Application:
Pressure Ulcers: Commonly used for patients who are bedridden or wheelchair-bound for a long time. The dressings can effectively absorb wound exudate, promote wound healing and prevent infection.
Venous Ulcers: Often occur in the lower extremities due to poor venous return. Calcium alginate wound dressings can help manage large amounts of exudate, improve the wound environment and promote healing.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A common complication in diabetic patients. These wounds are often difficult to heal and prone to infection. The high absorbency and healing-promoting properties of calcium alginate dressings can effectively control exudate, reduce the risk of infection and promote wound healing.
Surgical Wounds: Applicable to wounds after abdominal, thoracic and other surgeries, as well as wounds after abscess incision and drainage. The dressings can absorb exudate, keep the wound moist and are beneficial to wound healing.
Traumatic Wounds: Including cuts, abrasions, lacerations, etc. They can effectively manage wound exudate, prevent infection and promote the natural healing of wounds.
Burn Wounds: For second-degree burn wounds and burn donor sites, calcium alginate wound dressings can provide a moist environment, promote wound healing and reduce the risk of scar formation.
