Alginate Wound Dressings

Algeos' Alginate Dressings range offers advanced wound care solutions derived from natural seaweed. These dressings are ideal for managing moderate to heavily exuding wounds, including pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and surgical wounds.

Alginate dressings are highly absorbent, forming a gel-like substance when in contact with wound exudate, which helps maintain a moist environment conducive to healing. 

They are easy to apply, conforming well to the wound bed, and are gentle on the skin, making them suitable for sensitive or fragile skin types.
