The moist wound environment facilitated by alginates promotes debridement of devitalised tissue, thereby assisting in wound bed preparation. The alginate fibres form a gel when in contact with exudate, and help to support the control of minor bleeding.
- Manages higher levels of exudate (absorbency).
- Maintains a moist wound healing environment.
- High wet strength.
- Non-adherent.
- Retains exudate.
- Antimicrobial claims: Sustained antimicrobial protection, broad spectrum antimicrobial action.
