Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A tunable antimicrobial-loaded hydrogel formulation has a mechanical strength can be altered by changing the salt composition. The hydrogel formulation is preferably a Gellan film. The ion concentration in the gel material may be altered to obtain the desired gel strength. The hydrogel formulation is layered directly upon a skin area such as burnt skin. The hydrogel formulation includes a dosage of free antibiotic, such as the antibiotic is preferably vancomycin, for rapid release. The hydrogel formulation also includes microparticles and/or nanoparticles such as activated carbon powder that has adsorbed additional antibiotic. The particles are used to aid in attaining a timely or sustained release of the antibiotic drug.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A hydrogel formulation comprising: a hydrogel having a particular mechanical strength; and a salt composition for altering the mechanical strength. 2 . A hydrogel formulation as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of an antibiotic (gentamicin, clindamycin etc.), an antifungal compound, an anti-inflammatory compound, a proteins (growth factors) and enzymes to promote wound healing…
