Brand: ALGISITE
    Do not use on patients with a known allergy to alginate dressings
  • Always read the label.
    Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures
  • Choose a dressing which is slightly larger than the wound and place it in intimate contact with the wound base ensuring the entire surface is covered
  • It may be best to use the alginate strip if the wound is deep or undermined
  • Apply using an appropriate dressing technique
  • Cover with an appropriate retention dressing
  • Wound exudate will evaporate from the gel surface; the secondary dressing should not hinder this evaporative process where exudate is heavy
  • Generally dressings should be changed daily in heavily draining wounds, reducing to twice weekly (or weekly) as healing proceeds.
