Criteria to evaluate the quality of alginate wound dressings

Abstract: Objectives: to validate an instrument with criteria to evaluate the quality of calcium alginate wound dressings to treat skin injuries. Methods: methodological study, developed in two stages: the elaboration of criteria to evaluate the quality of the alginate wound dressing based on literature; validation of these criteria by a group of evaluators in two moments. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, central tendency measures and the Content Validity Index. Results: seven articles were selected, le… Show more

“…Dressings with honey have hygroscopic properties, which is the ability to absorb moisture, in addition to acidic pH, which helps with microbial control by dehydrating bacteria and promoting autolytic debridement, being able to control symptoms of infection, exudation and odor. Calcium and sodium alginate dressings promote the exchange of ions in a humid environment, being indicated for wounds with moderate and high exudation, in addition to having hemostatic properties due to the presence of calcium 16,28,29 .…”

“…Curativos com mel tem propriedade higroscópica, que é a capacidade de absorver umidade, além de pH ácido, o que ajuda no controle microbiano por desidratar bactérias e promover o desbridamento autolítico, podendo controlar sintomas de infecção, exsudação e odor. Curativos de alginato de cálcio e sódio promovem a troca de íons no meio úmido, sendo indicados para feridas com moderada e alta exsudação, além de terem propriedades hemostáticas em razão da presença do cálcio 16,28,29 .…”

“…O respaldo para o uso das coberturas depende do conhecimento dos profissionais sobre os seus mecanismos de ação, composição, indicações e desvantagens, para que a melhor escolha seja realizada de acordo com a necessidade e com o objetivo de melhorar a área a ser tratada. É indispensável que as instituições de saúde elaborem critérios para a compra de insumos, uma vez que materiais de má qualidade podem prejudicar o tratamento (Garcia et al, 2021).…”
