D
Alginate dressings are highly absorbent and are used in wounds with significant drainage. The wound vacuum assisted closure (wound V.A.C.) uses negative pressure to the wound to promote and accelerate healing. Transparent film dressings will trap moisture over the wound and are used in a wound with minimal tissue loss and little wound drainage.
