Abstract
A wound dressing containing polyurethane and a hydrated polymer (hydrogel) controls the type of infections that often accompany serious skin burns, according to Lucie Martineau of Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), who presented her findings during the poster session, “Antibacterial Testing in Animal Models,” at the 45th Interscience Conference of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) meeting in Washington, D.C., last December. The easy-to-apply dressing may one day become a means for treating burn victims on battlefields, she says.
