Calcium alginate dressing is a highly absorbent wound dressing made from seaweed, ideal for managing moderate to heavily exuding wounds. It promotes healing by maintaining a moist environment and forming a gel when in contact with wound fluid.
Product Indications:
- Venous ulcers: These are typically characterized by large amounts of drainage, and calcium alginate can help absorb exudate while maintaining a moist wound environment.
- Pressure ulcers (bed sores): Especially in more severe stages where exudate is abundant.
- Diabetic foot ulcers: Calcium alginate dressings are effective for wounds that are difficult to heal due to poor circulation and excessive exudate.
