Calcium gluconate, in the form of a gel, is used to treat burns from hydrofluoric acid. Calcium gluconate injections may be used for more severe cases to avoid necrosis of deep tissues.

Function

Gluconic acid occurs naturally in fruit, honey, and wine. As a food additive, it is an acidity regulator. It is also used in cleaning products where it dissolves mineral deposits especially in alkaline solution. The gluconate anion chelates Ca2+, Fe2+, Al3+, and other metals.
