There can be few wound dressings that are still as popular, if not more so, 25 years after its launch. One such range of dressings is Sorbsan alginates from Unomedical (Redditch). Launched in 1983, the range has grown and developed to meet the challenges faced in the management of all types of acute and chronic wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, partial thickness burns and surgical wounds. This product review catalogues the evidence that has been produced over the past 25 years and examines Sorbsan’s relevance to today’s wound care challenges.
