ABSTRACT:
The method of making skin covering materials especially for wounds comprising dextran C insolubilized by reaction with epichlorohydrin in combination with a suitable humectant. The compositions may be formed into coherent, self-supporting sheets of the insolubilized dextran C impregnated with humectant material, or in the form of pastes applied to the wound as such. The humectant material is preferably glycerin or isopropanolpropylene glycol and an oil. The wound covering material allows sufficient removal of exuded body fluid and seals the wound site against bacterial infection, while at the same time maintaining the wound moist to prevent scale formation. The method may include incorporating medicaments into the wound covering material, to assist in healing and further to safeguard against bacterial infection.
