Why is seaweed fiber medical dressing so good for wounds
The seaweed fiber dressing also has hemostatic properties, because the dressing releases Ca2+in contact with wound exudate, which can accelerate the formation of prothrombin activators and accelerate the blood coagulation process. Gelatinization: After the alginate dressing absorbs the wound exudate, it forms a stable mesh gel on the surface of the wound to avoid wound immersion and create a microenvironment conducive to tissue growth for the wound. Accelerate wound healing: A slightly acidic, anaerobic or hypoxic, moderately moist wound environment accelerates the release of growth factors, stimulates cell proliferation, improves the ability of epidermal cells to regrow and move, and accelerates wound healing.
