Abstract		Surgical dressings represent a large group of products, which are classified according to Medicinal Product Act as medicial devices. Medical devices have no similary with classical pharmaceutical products, they must also be in quality, efficatious and safe. The article presents, on the example of alginate wound dressing, the development of modern wound management materials, describes their composition and physical characterisation. We are going to describe test methods for alginate fibre, alginate dressing and alginate packing according to British Pharmacopoeia 1993, Addendum 1995.
Summary		Sanitetni in obvezilni material predstavlja veliko skupino izdelkov, ki sodijo po Zakonu o zdravilih med medicinske pripomočke. Medicinski pripomočki se v veliki meri razlikujejo od klasičnih farmacevtskih izdelkov, a morajo biti prav tako kakovostni, uporabni in neškodljivi. V članku bomo predstavili razvoj sodobnih materialov za oskrbo rane (na primeru alginatnih vlaken in alginatnih oblog), opisali njihovo sestavo in fizikalne značilnosti. Predstavili bomo metode preskušanj za alginatno vlakno, alginatno oblogo in alginatno polnilo, kot jih predpisuje britanska farmakopeja (British Pharmacopoeia 1993, Addendum 1995).
