Calcium Alginate Dressings

Medical facilities often face much more serious wounds than homes. One of the many types are wounds that are freely exuding. For the heaviest of exuding wounds, you will need something which will absorb the fluids and still maintain its integrity. This is the purpose of calcium alginate dressings. The calcium alginate which they are impregnated with, will combine with sodium from the wound. That leads to a reaction which will form a gel that helps to promote healing of both surface and cavity wounds.

Rather than simply drying out the wound, calcium alginate dressings create a gel when they come in contact with bodily fluids. This gel keeps the environment around the wound moist enough to encourage healing. When you are purchasing calcium alginate dressings be sure that the pad will not just move the fluids out to the sides as this could cause damage to the surrounding tissues. Quality dressings will not do this. Quality calcium alginate dressings should also be non-adherent. This will keep fibers from the dressing remaining in the wound. The depth of the injury will determine the form the dressing should take. We have a selection of both pad dressing and ropes. Rope dressing should be used for deep wounds.
