Characteristics:

Alginate fiber is a kind of natural polysaccharide compound extracted from the cell wall and cytoplasm of brown algae. Alginate dressings have the characteristics of high hygroscopicity, good biocompatibility, easy removal, hemostasis, and wound healing.

1.High hygroscopicity: alginate dressing can absorb a lot of wound exudation, prolong the time of dressing change, reduce the change numbers and nursing times.

2.Good biocompatibility: alginate is a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown algae, and has good biocompatibility. The final degradation are carbon dioxide and water, which does not affect the normal cell physiology and proliferation.

3.Easily remove: The exudation liquid and alginate combining can form a soft hydrogel which does not adhesive with wound tissue. It has a great protective effect on the new granulation tissue, prevents second damage to the wound and greatly reduces the pain of the patients.

4.Hemostasis:Alginate absorbs exudation while releasing ions can enhance platelet activity,better blood clotting.

5. Promote wound healing: because of the above characteristics, the research shows alginate can provide moist environment for wound healing, enhance tissue cell activity, certainly antibacterial ability, reduce wound infection factors and improve the quality of wound healing environment.
