摘要:
Absorbable polymers and blends of poly(alkylene diglycolate)s and aliphatic polyesters based on lactone monomers such as lactide, glycolide, e-caprolactone, p-dioxanone, and trimethylene carbonate are described. The polymers and blends exhibit a broad range of properties, useful in a variety of medical devices.
摘要:
A depot formulation comprising fibronectin or a fragment thereof, a growth factor binding agent linked thereto and growth factor bound to the binding agent is used to promote wound healing in combination with macroscopically oriented cell adhesion proteins, the depot formulations allow the healing process to be directed to afford stronger or more cosmetically acceptable results.
摘要:
A gel forming system comprising an aqueous mixture of a first component of at least one water-soluble polymer in an amount sufficient to increase the initial viscosity of the mixture and impart adhesivity properties thereto; a second component of a acid-containing polymer; a third component of an amino-containing polymer; and water. This system has a pH in the range of between about 5.5 and 8.5 and the second and third components are each present in sufficient amounts which, in combination, increase the cohesiveness of the mixture over time, such that the mixture can be initially combined in a relatively fluid state and subsequently forms a cohesive gel structure. This system is useful as a wound dressing for deep wound cavities because the gel protects the wound and permits healing, does not interfere with new tissue growth or development, is capable of absorbing significant amounts of wound exudate, and has sufficient cohesive strength for subsequent removal from the cavity as an integral plug without interrupting the healing process.
摘要:
A flexible, hydrophilic, water-swellable but insoluble gel film which consists of(a) 0.5 to 30%-wt of at least one water-soluble polymer being anion-active at neutral pH(b) 0.5 to 50%-wt of at least one water-soluble polymer being cation-active at neutral pH(c) 0.1 to 20%-wt of at least one moisturizer(d) 0.1 to 70%-wt of water(e) 0 to 75%-wt of water-soluble or water-dispersible auxiliaries(f) 0 to 50%-wt of active substancea process for its production and the use of this film for the production of a device creating interactions between the gel film and a solid, liquid, or gaseous substrate.

The invention relates to a wound secretion absorbing hydrogel of the following composition:______________________________________ a) 20 to 70%-wt of at least one multivalent alcohol b) 10 to 35%-wt of at least one natural thickener (biopolymer) c) 0.05 to 12%-wt of at least one uncross-linked copolymer of one or more vinylcar- boxylic acids and their salts (syn- thetic polymer) d) 0.05 to 10%-wt of a cross-linking agent e) 0 to 50%-wt of a water or physiological saline ______________________________________ as well as to the use of this hydrogel as wound dressing.
摘要:
The invention disclosed is a hydrogel-forming wound dressing or skin coating material suitable for household and veterinary use, consisting substantially entirely of wound-compatible and skin-compatible ingredients and comprising a first hydrophilic polymer, selected from polymers or copolymers of acrylic acid, polymers or copolymers of methacrylic acid, polymers or copolymers of itaconic acid, polymers or copolymers of maleic acid and polymers or copolymers of 3-butene-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid, or combinations thereof, a second hydrophilic polymer which is capable of interacting with the first polymer to produce, upon drying, a hydrogel of improved water resistance and film forming properties relative to the first polymer alone and water. This material is film forming and substantially transparent but capable of being made opaque.
摘要:
The invention disclosed is a burn wound-adherent dressing material comprising a complex of gelatin and a water-soluble resin material such as polyethylenimine. The dressing material may be in the form of a preformed film or in the form of an aqueous coating which sets to a gel and dries to a continuous wound-adherent film in situ.
摘要:
The invention disclosed is a surgical dressing, particularly useful for the protection of wounds during the healing process. The dressing comprises a blend of gelatin and chitosan in a weight ratio of about 3:1 to 1:3 and a compatible plasticizer in an amount of 0-40% w/w based on the combined weight of gelatin and chitosan.
摘要:
This invention is directed to an occlusive dressing useful for treating skin lesions and a granular material capable of interacting with wound exudate. Wounds emitting a large amount of fluid can be treated by first packing with the granular material and then covering the wound with the occlusive dressing.
