Alginate dressings are often used on wounds with heavy exudate, the alginates used to produce these dressings are made from various seaweeds harvested worldwide. When used to dress a wound that is exuding heavily, the calcium ions in the dressing interact with the sodium ions in the fluid of the wound. This reaction makes the fiber in the dressing swell and partially dissolve into a gel.
