Alginate medical fibresHighly absorbent and gelling calcium alginate fibres are manufactured from sodium alginate extracted from seaweed. Calcium alginate is used worldwide in the production of wound dressings where the principle of a moist wound environment encourages more effective healing. We have developed a range of products based on alginate fibre. Key advantages of alginate fibre include:
Clinical experience has shown that alginates possess a combination of characteristics which makes them ideal for use as dressings on many types of wet wounds. By combining fluid absorption with gel formation, dressings keep the wound moist but not macerated. This creates the ideal environment in which to promote healing and reduce pain. |
