Wundverband, Wundauflage oder Trägermatrix

摘要

A wound dressing, wound plaster or carrier matrix is composed of a biocompatible, open-pore polyurethane foam and of an embedded hydrogel made of guar gum, as well as if necessary other additives. The guar gum, as well as the other available additives, if required, are foamed together in situ while water is reacted with hydrophilic polyurethane prepolymers based on toluol diisocyanate (TDI) and/or methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). The water absorption capacity of the finished product is lower than three times its initial weight.
