  • Title: [Spongy dressings from alginic acid salts in the treatment of suppurative wounds].
    Author: Arutiunian BN, Tolstykh PI, Simonov AV, Komissarova AL, Petushkov VV.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1991 Jul; (7):44-7. PubMed ID: 1717738.
    Abstract:
    Spongy dressing materials made from alginic acid salts, specifically immobilized with terrilitinum (teralginum) were found to reduce the period of wound purification from suppurative and necrotic tissues and to facilitate more rapid, viz. 1.5-fold compared to the control, patient recovery, particularly after preliminary wound treatment with defocussed CO2 laser beam. In the group on teralginum, the cytological study demonstrated more intensive wound purification from microflora, more active growth and differentiation of reparation cells, specifically of fibroblasts, which influences the results of accelerated wound healing.
