title: [Application status and research progess of alginate dressings].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review the application status and research progress of alginate dressings.
  
  
  METHODS
  The related home and abroad literature was reviewed, and the relevant product standards and regulations were summarized.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Alginate dressings have been widely used in clinical because of the characteristics of anti-infection and promoting wound healing. It is mainly used on the wound surface and filled in the wound. Pure alginate dressing is limited in promoting wound healing. A large number of studies are devoted to promoting the activity with other polymer composite to get better dressing. In addition, the industry standards and regulation of alginate dressing products are also gradually improved and standardized.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Alginate dressing, as an advanced bio-dressing, whose effectiveness has been confirmed, its derivative dressings are also continuously expanding.
