Hydrogel polymer wound dressing

摘要

A hydrogel wound dressing is provided which is clear, non greasy, water soluble and odor free. The wound dressing additionally does not exhibit any thickening properties and is of a viscosity such that it will adhere to the wound bed to facilitate natural healing yet will also be easily removable with water and will not stick to the wound or gauze, allowing for removal of bandages without tearing of delicate regenerated skin. The wound dressing also contains humectant properties such that the wound is kept hydrated to prevent any scabbing or drying out so that the wound is allowed to heal from the inside out.
