What is a calcium alginate dressing?
A calcium alginate dressing is a plant-based wound dressing made from brown seaweed. On contact with wound fluids and blood, the calcium ions in the dressing exchange with sodium ions in the body. The result is a soft gel that conforms to the wound, absorbs up to 20× its weight in fluid, and supports a moist wound environment for healing.
AllaQuix® Lite is a calcium alginate dressing made for people who normally have trouble stopping bleeding. Sterile, drug-free, hypoallergenic, available over the counter.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a calcium alginate dressing and when should I use one?
A calcium alginate dressing is a plant-derived hemostatic and absorbent fiber dressing. It is well suited to moderately to heavily draining wounds, post-procedure care, and people who normally have trouble stopping bleeding. Use it instead of a basic gauze pad when you need more absorption and a soft gel that does not stick to the wound bed.
Is AllaQuix® Lite safe for people on blood thinners?
Yes. Calcium alginate gels on contact with blood and supports hemostasis at the wound surface, which makes Lite well suited to patients on warfarin, Eliquis, Xarelto, Pradaxa, Plavix, or daily aspirin. For minor topical bleeding only.
How is Lite different from AllaQuix® High-Performance?
Lite is calcium alginate — highly absorbent, designed for draining wounds and post-procedure care. High-Performance is chitosan — works independently of the clotting cascade for active bleeding control. Many users keep both: Lite for draining wounds, High-Performance for harder bleeds.
Can I leave Lite on a wound overnight?
Always follow the product Instructions for Use. In general, calcium alginate dressings are changed daily or when saturated. Talk to your healthcare provider for clinical use guidance.
Is Lite suitable for sensitive skin?
Lite is plant-based, drug-free, and hypoallergenic. The soft gel formed on contact removes cleanly without disturbing the wound bed, which is helpful for fragile or sensitive skin.
Is Lite eligible for insurance reimbursement?
AllaQuix® Lite may be eligible for reimbursement under HCPCS code A6196 when medically necessary and used as directed. Coverage is not guaranteed — check with your insurer or provider.
