Fundamental principle
Manuka Honey Alginate Dressing contains a large number of carboxyl and hydroxyl hydrophilic groups, which can absorb the exudate when contact with the wound. The alginate fiber contains sodium salt and calcium salt. Sodium alginate is soluble in water and is easy to form gel. Calcium alginate is insoluble in water, but it is easy to form Ca2+/Na+ exchange with sodium ions in the exudate, which increases the formation of gel and moistens the wound. The insoluble calcium salts form the calcium ions, promoting the formation of the prothrombin activator and accelerating the blood coagulation process. Honey can remove the necrotic tissue painlessly and promote wound healing. Honey can control bacteria so that it doesn't fester because of moisture, and it can reduce the secondary damage to the wound when change wound dressing.
