Gelatin‐based sprayable foam as a skin substitute

Abstract: Physical and antimicrobial properties of a newly developed gelatin based spray-on foam bandage for use on skin wounds have been evaluated. The aqueous foam is sprayed from aerosol containers and effectively covers and washes uneven wound surfaces. The foam dries to form an adherent and stable three-dimensional matrix which diminishes evaporative water losses. The foam possesses antimicrobial activity against gram-positive, gram-negative, and fungal contaminants.

“…Developing new uses for gelatin-based hydrogels is another important area of academic research. [11] Additionally, the mechanical and chemical properties of gelatin can be modified using various kinds of crosslinking agents [12][13][14][15][16] (e.g., glutaraldehyde, genipin, and dextran dialdehyde). For example, Crescenzi et al [17] developed new gelatin-based hydrogels from high bloom purified gelatin A with/without hyaluronan by using transglutaminase-catalyzed crosslinking to form more densely connected networks that support cell regeneration.…”

“…La gélatine est obtenue par hydrolyse du collagène, ce dernier est le constituant majeur de la peau et des tissus osseux (Tabata and Ikada, 1998). La gélatine est largement utilisée dans l'industrie médicale comme pansement pour blessures, garniture absorbante ou adhésif (Neumann et al, 1981) et plus particulièrement comme matériel biopharmaceutique pour la libération contrôlée des médicaments (Fukunaka et al, 2002). La gélatine contient un total de 18 acides aminés en différentes concentrations, la liaison de ces acides forme des chaînes polypeptidiques, chaque chaîne contient environ mille acides aminés (Gomez-Guillen et al, 2002).…”

“…Dressing materials having 100 kg f /cm 2 in tensile strength and 20% in elongation have been favored to graft. 19,20 The tensile strength and elongation of hydrogels under dry and wet condition are shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively. The tensile strength of the PVA/alginate hydrogels increased as the concentration of alginate decreased and as the radiation dose increased.…”
