Alginate Fiber for Medical Applications

As a leading bio-based materials company, Alfa Chemistry is committed to sustainable innovation and advanced technologies that create eco-friendly solutions. We developed a series of alginate-based fibers, including alginate fiber for medical applications. Leveraging proprietary production technologies, we have transformed natural sodium alginate into calcium alginate fiber, offering unmatched functionality and safety for a wide range of medical and protective applications. This alginate fiber comes into contact with human blood or body fluids and can quickly absorb exudate. The calcium ions in the fiber exchange with sodium ions in the fluids, converting it into water-soluble sodium alginate and resulting in a protective gel-like barrier. This unique mechanism underpins its exceptional performance in hemostasis, hydration, and wound protection.

Product Features

  • Rapid Hemostasis: The ionic exchange mechanism facilitates the formation of a gel barrier, effectively sealing wounds and promoting clot formation.
  • High Absorption and Moisture Retention: With superior exudate absorption, the fiber maintains an optimal wound environment by keeping tissues hydrated while preventing excessive dryness.
  • Natural Antibacterial Properties: Derived from natural seaweed, alginate fiber possesses intrinsic antibacterial properties that reduce the risk of infection.
  • Gel Barrier Effect: The gel formed upon contact with bodily fluids acts as a physical barrier.
  • Biocompatibility and Biodegradability: This fiber is biocompatible, ensuring no adverse reactions. Moreover, it degrades naturally, making it environmentally friendly.
  • High Oxygen Permeability: The porous structure of alginate fiber promotes oxygen exchange, aiding in tissue repair.
