| Composed
of alginic acid, which consists of a polymer containing mannuronic
and guluronic acid residues. High in mannuronic acid and therefore
forms a soft flexible gel which is soluble with 0.9% sodium chloride
and can be easily removed or rinsed away. Contains calcium alginate
which, when in contact with wound exudate converts into a hydrophilic
gel that is believed to facilitate healing. This gel provides a moist
wound healing environment and allows pain-free dressing changes. The
gel also ensures that the new granulation tissue is not disturbed
and does not harm the surrounding skin. Effective haemostatic agent
so can be used on bleeding wounds i.e. donor sites, fungating wounds.
