Treatment of open wounds in human tissue (esp. skin) is effected by (a) treating the wound area with an aq. medium having a pH low enough to cause at least partial ionisation of basic amino acids naturally present in adjacent tissues and to bring them into soln. at the surface of the wound area, and (b) treating the wound area with a basic ointment having a pH high enough to activate amino acids at the surface of the wound. The aq. medium has a pH of 4.3-6.8 and contains a chelating agent for basic amino acids, esp. ZnCl2. It may also contain a vitamin B cpd. (esp. pyridoxine,HCl) and dexgtrose. The ointment has a pH of 6.5-9 and comprises a basic material (I), anhydrous lanolin, a hydrophilic ointment base and a water-soluble Zn salt, opt. together with vitamin A as antioxidant. (I) is pref. CaCO3, Mg(OH)2 or Al(OH)3. The concn. of the Zn salt is 0.15-15 wt.% based on (I). - |
