WOUND DRESSING CONTAINING POLYSACCHARIDES

摘要

A wound dressing makes use of polysaccharides, including the formation of a range of variable viscosity mixtures that use a solid polysaccharide such as medical grade cane sugar and a liquid polysaccharide such as honey, both of which have inherent beneficial properties for wound healing. The mixture is applied to an absorbent surface that is designed to absorb the mixed polysaccharide only partially.

主权项

1. A dressing for application to a wound comprising:
a wound contacting layer for contacting the wound surface, the wound contacting layer comprising:
a first polysaccharide having a first viscosity; anda second polysaccharide; wherein the first polysaccharide and second polysaccharide form a mixture in the wound contacting layer having a viscosity that is greater than the viscosity of the first polysaccharide.
