ABSTRACT:
A method and composition for a film forming antimicrobial material for animal skin wherein said film is resistant to body fluids and provides long term protection against microorganisms. The composition comprises an alcohol soluble carboxylated polycrylate wherein is added an antimicrobial agent, a topical adhesion promoter, and a difunctional amide which crosslinks said polymer as said solvent evaporates. The topical film so formed does not interfere with respiratory processes and is inert to blood, urine, gastric acids, perspiration, saline solutions and the like. Once formed, said film will not resolubilize in alcohol or other common sterilants. Said topical film adheres to tissue and is resistant to physical removal and to abrasion. Film longevity is in excess of 2 days. Substantial protection is provided against pathogenic bacteria and fungi often implicated in hospital infections and thus can serve as a presurgical dressing, preparation agent, as well as in post-surgical prophylaxis.
