ABSTRACT:
A wound dressing is provided which comprises a blend of silicone fluid and fumed silica having the consistency of a stiff cream prepared in the presence of a volatile diluent that reduces the consistency of the silicon fluid-fumed silica blend to that of a spreadable cream or grease which can applied to a wound without producing further injury or undue discomfort. After the blend is in place on the wound, evaporation of the volatile diluent restores the consistency of the silicone fluid silica blend to its undiluted state, thereby allowing the advantages of increased wound adhesion and "smear proofing" to be achieved without producing further damage to the wound or undue pain and discomfort during application. The consistency of any particular blend of silicone fluid and fumed silica may be adjusted by varying the quantity of volatile diluent, thereby allowing the physician to vary the thickness of the film to help control the loss of water from the protected area.
