Alginate dressings are absorbent wound care products that contain sodium and calcium fibers derived from seaweed.
They come in the form of flat dressings that can be placed over open ulcers and rope dressings that are used for packing the wound,
which absorb fluids and promote healing with pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, or venous ulcers.
An individual dressing is able to absorb up to 20 times its own weight. These dressings,
which are easy to use, mold themselves to the shape of the wound, which helps ensure that they absorb wound drainage properly.
This also makes these dressings ideal for using on ulcers in areas that are difficult to dress, such as heels and sacral areas.
