<p>There is provided a composition comprising an admixture of a finely divided alginate (or a salt or derivative thereof) together with a finely divided carrier material. The composition overcomes the problems associated with applying gel-forming alginates to a body surface without formation of a clumpy paste that leads to local irritation. An admixture of sodium alginate and a water-soluble glass carrier material is preferred. Optionally, the alginate and carrier material each have a particle size of less than 150 νm diameter and are present in a weight ratio of 20:80 to 80:20. The presence of the carrier aids even gel formation and also promotes wound healing.</p> |
