METHOD AND COMPOSITIONS FOR REMOVING AN ALGINATE FROM A CUTANEOUS SUBSTRATE

The use of aqueous compositions containing at least one chelating agent in the removal of alginates from cutaneous substrates to which they are bound is disclosed. Such compositions, which may also contain physiological salts and non-ionic surfactants, are particularly useful in the removal of algin...

More Information
Summary:The use of aqueous compositions containing at least one chelating agent in the removal of alginates from cutaneous substrates to which they are bound is disclosed. Such compositions, which may also contain physiological salts and non-ionic surfactants, are particularly useful in the removal of alginate wound dressings from human or animal wounds, skin, or cellular tissue.
