The use of alginate dressings has strict requirements for wounds. Before use, it is necessary to ensure that the wound is clean and free of carrion and necrosis. If there are black scabs, carrion, and viscous pus, debridement should be performed first to keep the wound flat and clean before covering the wound with alginate.

At the beginning of wound repair, alginate dressings should be replaced once a day. When the inflammation of the wound is controlled, the exudate decreases, and granulation begins to form, the frequency of dressing replacement should be reduced.

Alginate dressings have significant advantages in the early stage of wound repair, but their effectiveness in the granulation growth stage is limited, especially in the repair of chronic and difficult wounds.

1. Promote wound healing

2. Helping to stop bleeding from wounds

3. Isolate external pathogens

4. Will not adhere to the wound

Compared with traditional gauze, although alginate dressings are more expensive, they can shorten the time of wound repair, reduce local inflammatory reactions, and improve the quality of wound healing in multiple aspects. Overall, they can alleviate the pain of patients, and their application prospects are relatively broad.
