## Abstract This study describes an investigation on the absorption characteristics of alginate wound dressings. The fluid that is absorbed by the dressing is divided into that which is held inside the fiber in the fiber structure and that which is held between the fibers in the textile structure.

## Abstract Seven commercially available alginate wound dressings with different polymer, fiber, and nonwoven structures were characterized in this study. The performances of these dressings were compared in terms of their absorbency capacities, gel swelling ratios in water and normal saline, wicki
Flexible, thin, transparent, novel chitosan-alginate polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) membranes, cast from aqueous suspensions of chitosan-alginate coacervates with CaCl(2), were evaluated as potential wound-dressing materials. MTT and NR assays suggested that the chitosan-alginate PEC membranes and th
