Alginate Dressing

Cavity Packing

Clean the wound with sterile water or saline solution and dry the surrounding skin gently.
Choose the right size of dressing according to wound area. If necessary, cut dressing to size using sterile scissors.
A secondary dressing is necessary when using calcium alginates.

If the wound appears dry, saturate the dressing with sterile saline prior to removal.

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.

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.

Highly Absorbent

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