Algivon contains alginate fibers which allow a continuous slow release of honey while maintaining the integrity of the dressing. Algivon is particularly suitable for moister wounds because the alginate has a small moisture absorption capacity, so that the honey does not disappear with the exudate (wound fluid). Algivon is very soft and pliable and is therefore very suitable for sinuses/cavities. The dressing also absorbs and is therefore good for moister wounds because the honey stays longer in the dressing on the wound bed.
