Foryou Medical Advanced Wound Dressing Absorbs Wound Fluid Calciumalginate Gel Dressing Calcium Wound Care Products Alginate

Description:


LUOFUCON Alginate Dressing is a sterilized wound dressing contain alginate fibers derived from seaweed. This wound dressing can absorb wound exudates and form a gel-like covering over the wound. The gel maintains a moist environment to accelerate wound healing. Meanwhile, the alginate gel will not adhere to wound during dressing changes, which avoids second damage.

There have been few studies of the effect of alginate dressings on the processes of wound healing.

The healing of cutaneous ulcers requires the development of a vascularized granular tissue bed, filling of large tissue defects by dermal regeneration, and the restoration of a continuous epidermal keratinocyte layer. These processes were modeled in vitro in one study, utilizing human dermal fibroblast, microvascular endothelial cell (HMEC), and keratinocyte cultures to examine the effect of calcium alginate on the proliferation and motility of these cultures, and the formation of capillarylike structures by HMEC.

In the study, the calcium alginate increased the proliferation of fibroblasts but decreased the proliferation of HMEC and keratinocytes. In contrast, the calcium alginate decreased fibroblast motility but had no effect on keratinocyte motility. There was no significant effect of calcium alginate on the formation of capillarylike structures by HMEC. The effects of calcium alginate on cell proliferation and migration may have been mediated by released calcium ions.

These results suggest that the calcium alginate tested may improve some cellular aspects of normal wound healing, but not others.

Features:
Highly absorbent.
Maintain moist environment.
Easy application and removal.


Indications:
Alginate dressing can absorb up to 12 times its weight of fluid. It can be used in moderately to heavily exuding wound.
Venous/arterial leg ulcer.
Diabetic ulcer, pressure ulcer.
Donor sites, abrasions, lacerations and post-surgical wound.

Notice: Alginate dressing shall not be used in dry wounds or wounds with minimal exudates, as it could dehydrate the wound site and delay wound healing.
