Nanostructured silver is suspended in the gelling environment, which is a precursor of a colloidal system. A gelatin which is a natural protein polymer is a gelling environment. Nanosilver, due to its characteristics is widely used. The best-known advantage of silver nanoparticle is its antibacterial activity.
Description of the technology
The present invention is hydrocolloid nanocomposite with incorporated metallic silver nanoparticles that can be used as an ingredient of wound dressings. Hydrocolloid dressing may be combined with the absorbing polymeric base and it is capable of swelling. In its structure it contains suspended active substance, which is a nanocrystalline silver. It has a shape of plates dedicated for superficial wounds. The deep and penetrating wounds can be treated without the polymeric base, but in the form of a paste.
Specifications
A method for producing the hydrocolloid nanocomposite with antimicrobial properties according to the invention is characterized in that the silver nanoparticles are prepared in-situ, during the process of obtaining the nanocomposite. The method is waste-free, and thanks to the use of substances not endanger living organisms, it can be considered as environment-friendly one. It is also favored by mild process conditions.
