HYDROPOLYMER FOAM WITH ADDITIONAL COMPONENT TO INCREASE ABSORBENT CAPACITY

摘要

The present disclosure describes a wound dressing that includes one or more antioxidants in the dressing's absorbent layer. In some implementations, the antioxidant includes green tea. The antioxidant containing wound dressing can both increase the absorbency of the dressing's foam and increase the cellular proliferation of the wound. With increased absorbency, the dressing can handle higher amounts of exudate compared to a hydropolymer foam without the green tea (or other antioxidant) addition. The cell proliferation component of the wound dressing described herein can decrease a wounds healing time, by increasing the cells proliferation and hence regenerating healthy skin faster.
