Alginate Dressing

Excellent natural dressing for use on moderately to heavily exuding wounds.

LUOFUCON^® Alginate Dressing is made of natural fibers derived from seaweed. It is designed to be highly, fast absorbent. Alginate absorbs wound exudates and form a gel-like covering over the wound, maintaining a moist wound healing environment with accelerates healing process and helps to stop bleeding. The gel-like surface also keeps the dressing from adhering to the wound so it is painless removal.

Mechanism of Action

When applied to a wound there will be an ion-exchange between the calcium in the dressing and sodium from the exudate, forming a soluble calcium/sodium alginate gel. The free calcium ions in the wound will amplify the clotting cascade, and it has been reported that the calcium ions reduce the bleeding during various surgical interventions. The interaction with the wound exudates will create a protective gel that has occlusive, nonadherent and moisturizing properties.*
