Wound management plays an important role in fast wound healing, and advanced dressings have made this easier. Today, many dressings are used in wound management, one of the most important being the alginate dressing. Alginate dressings are biodegradable and made from seaweed. One of their most important features is their very high absorbency, which makes them suitable for heavily exuding wounds. Because these dressings are not adhesive, a secondary dressing must be used with them. They can also maintain a moist environment for the wound and minimize infection at the wound site.
