<p>A dressing and method of treating wounds is provided. The dressing can comprise watersoluble or swellable polymers capable of forming viscous aqueous or non-aqueous solution and form a gel, and which may be dehydrated and milled to form a powder. The dressing can be constructed in the form of a sponge or sheet impregnated with the gel, or may contain a tooth-whitener, and may be coated onto a non-porous, porous or microporous backing. Wounds treated with dressings in accordance with embodiment of the invention will tend to heal without the formation of atypical hard scab. The dressing may also be covered with a protective coating such as a cyanoacrylic liquid or spray, or may be attached to a backing such as an adhesive bandage to protect the wound from an excessively fluids environment and from mechanical stresses.</p> |
