Wound care

Alginate is a biocompatible and biodegradable substance found in seaweed. Now, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have used alginate from seaweed washed ashore, CaCO3, and carbonated water to develop a hydrogel which exhibits lower skin adhesion and swelling. These properties, though exactly opposite of conventional wound dressings, can help prevent the expansion of the wound site during recovery and the obtained hydrogel has high wound healing efficacy.

The researchers investigated the effects of bioactive glass doped with ionic silver on biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the study showed that specific preparation, storage and application techniques can minimise the transformation of silver ions to silver chloride and so retain antimicrobial activity.
