Sequential Treatment with Calcium Alginate Dressings and Hydrocolloid Dressings Accelerates Pressure Ulcer Healing in Older Subjects: A Multicenter Randomized Trial of Sequential versus Nonsequential Treatment with Hydrocolloid Dressings Alone

Abstract: In grade III or IV PUs, treatment using first calcium alginate dressings and then hydrocolloid dressings promotes faster healing than treatment with hydrocolloid dressings alone.

“…They may remain in place for several days, thus requiring less frequent dressing changes. [20][21][22][23][24] Another advantage of alginate dressings is their inherent ability to augment hemostasis, as release of calcium ions leads to platelet activation. 25,26 Calcium alginate dressings may be painful to remove if used on wounds with only small amounts of exudate.…”

“…Calcium alginate dressings (UrgoSorb) plus hydrocolloid dressings (Algoplaque) induce more rapidly healing of such wounds compared to controls [46][47][48]. Once in contact with an exuding wound, an ion-exchange reaction takes place between the calcium ions in the dressing and sodium ions in serum or wound fluid [47].…”

“… Concerning alginate, there are two RCT comparing it with dextranomer and HD for deep pressure ulcers, and the evidence level is II. Concerning the exudate‐absorbing property of polyurethane foam, there is one RCT comparing it with HD, and the evidence level is II. There are case reports concerning the effusion‐absorbing properties of chitin, Hydrofiber and hydropolymer, and the evidence level is IVb. There are two RCT using alginate for deep pressure ulcers requiring the control of exudate . The cure rate was significantly higher compared with dextranomer .…”

“…The cure rate was significantly higher compared with dextranomer . Also, when pressure ulcers were treated with alginate for the first 4 weeks and with HD for the next 4 weeks, with controls treated with HD alone for 8 weeks, the ulcer size reduction rate was significantly higher compared with the control group Alginate absorbs 10–20 times its weight of liquid .…”
