When applied to a wound, it reacts with sodium in the blood to form a gel, which helps maintain a moist environment that promotes healing and aids in the autolytic debridement process. Calcium alginate is commonly utilized in the form of dressings for moderate to highly exudative wounds such as ulcers, burns, and surgical sites.Side Effects
