Algisite wound dressing manages moderate to severe exudate wounds, such as diabetic feet, pressure ulcers, leg venous and arterial ulcers, burns, postoperative wounds, and traumatic wounds. Also alginate ag dressing can be used for acute mild bleeding wounds. 

• Alginate dressing is indicated for the moderate to heavily exuding chronic and acute wounds with minor bleeding, such as diabetic foot ulcer, pressure ulcer, leg venous and arterial ulcer, first and second-degree burns, post-operative wounds, and traumatic wounds absorb a large number of exudates, provides a moist environment for wound bed and facilitates the healing process.
• The flat alginate wound plaster tape can be applied on shallow wounds.

Instructions for use of Alginate Wound Dressing

Alginate Wound Dressing is highly absorbent and ideal for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. It helps create a moist healing environment and forms a gel upon contact with wound fluid.

Follow these steps for proper application:

• Materials Needed
• Alginate Wound Dressing
• Sterile saline solution or wound cleanser
• Sterile gloves
• Scissors (if dressing needs trimming)
• Secondary dressing (e.g., gauze, foam, or adhesive bandage)

Application Steps

Wash Hands & Prepare Materials:

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Put on sterile gloves to prevent contamination.

Clean the Wound:

Use sterile saline or a wound cleanser to clean the wound.

Pat the surrounding skin dry with sterile gauze.

Apply the Alginate Dressing:

If needed, cut the Alginate Wound Dressing to fit the wound size.

Place the dressing directly onto the wound, ensuring full coverage without overlapping onto healthy skin.

For deep wounds or cavities, gently pack the dressing into the wound without overfilling.

Secure with a Secondary Dressing:

Cover the alginate dressing with a suitable secondary dressing (e.g., foam, gauze, or an adhesive bandage) to keep it in place.

Change the Dressing as Needed:

Change the dressing every 1 to 3 days, or as directed by a healthcare provider.

Replace the dressing sooner if it becomes saturated with fluid.

Removal:

Gently lift the dressing from the wound. If it adheres, moisten it with sterile saline to ease removal.

Dispose of the used dressing properly and wash hands after handling.

Additional Tips

• Do not use on dry wounds as alginate dressings require moisture to work effectively.
• Consult a healthcare provider if signs of infection occur (e.g., increased redness, swelling, or foul odor).
• Always follow product instructions and your healthcare provider’s recommendations for best results.
• By following these steps, Alginate Wound Dressing can effectively support the healing process and provide optimal wound care.
