Alginates have been used in wound care for many years. In recent years alginate dressings have developed to provide an extremely cost-effective way of managing wounds with a moderate to high level of exudate. The dressing gel has traditionally been either soft or firm on removal, but with new technology softness and fast gelling may now be combined with high integrity in a single product. An example of such a product is Melgisorb from Mölnlycke Health Care (the makers of Mepore). Melgisorb is just one dressing in their range of chronic wound care products.
藻酸盐已用于伤口护理多年。近年来，藻酸盐敷料得到了发展，为处理中度至高度渗出的伤口提供了一种极具成本效益的方法。传统上，敷料凝胶在去除时要么柔软要么坚硬，但借助新技术，柔软性和快速凝胶化现在可以在单一产品中与高完整性相结合。莫林医疗保健公司（美皮贴的制造商）生产的Melgisorb就是这样一种产品的例子。Melgisorb只是他们慢性伤口护理产品系列中的一种敷料。
