Wound dressing amorphous

In another example, antimicrobial silver ions are combined with a hydrogel. Silva-Sorb Silver Antimicrobial Wound Gel is an amorphous gel wound dressing for use in moist wound healing. Its SilvaSorb MicroLattice technology maintains an optimally moist wound environment by either absorbing wound drainage or donating moisture while it delivers antimicrobial ionic silver. SilvaSorb Silver Antimicrobial Wound Gel can act as an effective antimiCTobial barrier. 

Crosslinked PDMS Reinforced with silica Various cure systems radical, hydrosilation, condensation Softness Resilience Tacky or Non-Tacky Transparency Tiinable reaction rates and mechanical properties Amenable to foaming with reactive groups Cushioning material Gentle adhesive for skin Wound dressing Compliant amorphous matrix for drug release Soft and resilient material for medical devices Biocompatible Medical adhesive... 

Intrasite Gel (Smith Nephew) is amorphous sterile hydrogel dressing for use in shallow and deep open wounds, prepared from modified carhoxymethylceUulose (2.3%) and propylene glycol (20%). 

Further studies should be completed utilizing different film thicknesses and compositions. Copolymers of PCL and PLA and films cast from a mixture of chitosan and PCL or PLA from a common solvent should be studied. Thickness irregularities formed during the film casting process should be dealt with, as well as film thickness appropriate for dressing should be identified. A PLA film of 70/30 ratio should be tried as its more amorphous structure would increase the flexibility of the film in comparison to the somewhat brittle nature of the 98/2 currently used. Topographical characterization of the wound surface should also be included during the in vivo trials.
