Alginate Wound Dressing

Although traditional dry dressings such as gauze, absorbent sterile cotton, and bandages are economically suitable and provide physical protection for wounds, they have a limited impact on the healing process. In contrast, modern dressings, by maintaining optimal moisture, effectively enhance wound healing.

Alginate is a natural substance primarily extracted from brown algae. Due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, low toxicity, and easy gelation properties, it has attracted considerable attention in recent decades. Alginate dressings, derived from the fibrous components of brown algae, form a gel-like substance when bonded with wound exudates. Alginate accelerates wound healing because it serves as an effective carrier of proteins to the skin’s surface.

With the help of modern technologies, we can now significantly increase the effective surface area of dressings, delivering more alginate to the wound and accelerating the healing process. In this regard, Darya Company has successfully utilized electrospinning technology to produce alginate-containing nanofibers under the brand NoraNika.
