Abstract
The present disclosure provides multivalent cation alginate (e.g., calcium alginate) string wound filler compositions suitable for negative pressure wound therapy. In particular, wound filler compositions are well-suited to filling in complex wound sites, retain porosity when compressed under negative pressure, and resorbable/dispersible if left in contact with the wound beyond 7 days.
Claims6
A canister comprising a first compartment, a second compartment, and a gas cartridge comprising a pressuring gas, wherein the first compartment includes sodium alginate or potassium alginate and the second compartment includes a multivalent cation salt, and wherein the canister is configured to dispense a multivalent cation alginate string having a durometer equivalent to about 20-70 shore and a diameter of 1-4 mm.
