According to FutureWise analysis, the market for Alginate Dressings is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.30% over the forecast period of 2023-2031.
Alginate dressings are made from light, nonwoven fabrics derived from algae or seaweed that absorb exudate and help stop bleeding. Alginate is a biopolymer used in various biomedical applications due to its properties, such as non-toxicity and biocompatibility. It is specifically attractive in wound healing applications. It has been tailored to materials with properties appropriate for wound healing. Alginate has been used to prepare different materials for wound dressings, such as hydrogels, foams, films, wafers, nanofibres, and topical formulations. The wound dressings prepared from alginate can absorb excess wound fluid, maintain a moist environment, and minimize bacterial infections at the wound site. The therapeutic effectiveness of these wound dressings is influenced by the ratio of other polymers combined with alginate, the nature of cross-linkers used, the time of crosslinking, the nature of excipients used, the incorporation of nanoparticles, and antibacterial agents.
The process of wound healing is in five phases: hemostasis, inflammation, migration, proliferation, and remodeling. When there is an injury to the skin, hemostasis and inflammation take place. A main component of the connective tissue of the skin, known as fibrinogen, helps in the coagulation of the exudates and blood clotting in the wound to stop bleeding. The inflammatory phase occurs simultaneously with the hemostasis phase, in which the wound is cleansed of debris and protected from bacterial infection. In the migration phase, the epithelial cells move toward the wound site to replace dead cells. In the proliferation stage, the wound is covered completely by epithelium with the formation of granulating tissues. The final phase is tissue remodeling, in which the fibroblasts completely cover the wound's surface as a new layer of skin. There is no evidence of a wound in this phase, also called the maturation phase.
