Abstract

Alginate dressings are highly absorbent, biodegradable material derived from the seaweed. They are used to cleanse wide variety of secreting lesions. They show high absorptivity which is achieved via strong hydrophilic gel formation, this limits the wound secretions, promotes wound healing and also minimizes the bacterial contamination. Alginate dressings are very useful for moderate to heavily exudating wounds. This article throws light on the alginate dressing and its importance medical science. Patents are the richest source of the latest technological information. A review of some patents on alginate dressing is provided that summarizes the recent technical advancements taken place in this area.
