11 More importantly, the dressing should be able to release drugs or bioactive compounds, to counteract the onset of bacterial infections and actively support the tissue healing process. 12 Ideally, it should also be resorbable, in order to avoid the risk of repeated injury upon removal.
#Oil emulsion dressing burns skin#
7–11 Generally, an active wound dressing should be biocompatible, self-adhere to both moist and dry skin surfaces, and keep the wound bed clean. 5,6 In the past decade, the design of smart dressings able to accelerate the skin burn healing process by providing antibacterial, antioxidant or anti-inflammatory features has been intensively pursued. 4 In fact, phenomena such as infection and chronic inflammation can undermine a successful healing of the tissue. 3 Moreover, the burnt skin loses its protective function, becoming the perfect environment for bacterial growth. Introduction Skin burns are characterized by severe tissue damage, involving morphological alterations, erythema, apoptosis, and impairment of the physiological epidermal barrier function, 1,2 which may result in malfunction of microcirculation, generation of oxidative stress, and release of proinflammatory cytokines at the injured site. Additionally, upon contact with UV-inflammated skin, keratin–cinnamon essential oil fibers are able to down-regulate in vivo IL-6 and IL-1β cytokine production, thus limiting the inflammatory response induced by UVB radiation exposure and confirming the potential of our designed dressing as a biomedical device for burn wound care. The low-cytotoxicity material reduces the risk of infection from Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The cinnamon essential oil, successfully encapsulated in uniform, bead-free fibers, enhances the mechanical compliance of the composite, retains its antioxidant properties and is released from the keratin matrix upon its dissolution in an aqueous environment. Tel: 88 Fax: 60.Novel electrospun fibrous biocomposites have been fabricated, based on two naturally derived materials, namely wool keratin and cinnamon essential oil, and their efficacy for the treatment of skin burns caused by UVB exposure is demonstrated. Integrity Medical Devices, Inc., 4133 Route 30, P.O. The product is sterile and available in the following sizes:ģ" x 3' one per package 50 Pkg/Bx, 12 Bx/Csģ"x 8" one per package 24 Pkg/Bx, 6 Bx/Csģ"x 8" three per package 36 Pkg/Bx, 6 Bx/Csģ" x 16" one per package 36 Pkg/Bx, 12 Bx/Cs Oil Emulsion Gauze is a primary dressing packaged in an easy open, tamperproof, and peel able clear poly pouch. Use directly on the wound, beneath an absorbent secondary dressing. Oil Emulsion Gauze should be used on any draining wound including: skin ulcers, burns, infected areas, suture lines, lacerations, colostomies, episiotomy incisions. The fabric has an excellent stretching ability to conform, without sticking to healing tissue, thereby promoting aeration, and patient comfort. The fabric is knitted cellulose acetate, which allows exudates to flow freely through the porous knitted fabric into an absorbent secondary dressing, thus minimizing maceration. Petrolatum in an emulsion blend, the dressing is non-adhering, and permits flow of exudates without sticking to the wound.
