Calcium Alginate Dressings

Calcium alginate dressings are used for the management of moderate to heavily exuding wounds, such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical wounds. They are made from a natural material derived from seaweed, and when in contact with wound exudate, they form a gel-like substance that helps keep the wound moist and promote healing. The dressing also helps to absorb excess fluid from the wound, preventing maceration and promoting a healthy wound environment. Calcium alginate dressings can also provide a protective barrier against bacteria and other external contaminants. They may also be used to help debride the wound by pulling out dead tissue and slough.
