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
