“…They have been used in many industrial applications, such as in packaging, coating or protective films for the shipping and handling of different materials, [1][2][3] and controlled delivery of drugs. 4,5 They are also used for their pharmacological activity. [6][7][8] Alginate is a linear polysaccharide derived from brown sea algae and is composed of (1→4)-linked b-D-mannuronate residues (M units) and (1→4)-linked a-Lguluronate (G units) in different proportions.…”

Efeitos de adição de sal, concentração, presença de contraíons, temperatura e agente quelante em soluções aquosas de pectina, alginato de sódio e misturas destes foram analisadas por viscosimetria e espalhamento de luz dinâmico (DLS). A viscosidade intrínseca dos sistemas binários diminuiu com a adição de sal e com o aumento da temperatura, porém, mostrou-se insensível à adição de NaEDTA. Como esperado, a viscosidade intrínseca do sistema ternário alginato/pectina/água foi igual a média da viscosidade intrínseca determinada para os sistemas binários. Estudos de DLS indicaram a ocorrência de uma distribuição bimodal (presença dos modos de relaxação rápido e lento) para ambos os sistemas binários e ternários a 25 °C, refletindo um processo de agregação. No caso do modo lento de relaxação, um aumento significativo do raio hidrodinâmico foi observado tanto para os sistemas binários como ternário, na presença de NaCl e KCl a 25 °C. No entanto, a 80 °C, o raio hidrodinâmico correspondente ao modo lento em soluções de KCl foi praticamente constante para todos os sistemas estudados e não foi observado para o sistema binário alginato/solução aquosa.The effects of added salt, concentration, counterions, temperature and chelating agent on aqueous solutions of pectin, sodium alginate and their mixtures were analyzed by viscosimetry and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques. The intrinsic viscosity of the binary systems decreased with the addition of salt and with temperature, while it was found to be insensitive to the addition of NaEDTA. As expected the intrinsic viscosity of the ternary alginate/pectin/water system was equal to the average of the intrinsic viscosity for the binary systems. The DLS studies indicated a bimodal distribution (fast and slow relaxation modes) for both binary and ternary systems at 25 °C, reflecting aggregation. A significant increase in the hydrodynamic radius, in the case of the slow mode, was observed for the binary and ternary systems in the presence of NaCl and KCl at 25 °C. However, at 80 °C the hydrodynamic radius for the slow mode in KCl solutions was practically constant for all the studied systems, except for the alginate binary solutions in which were not observed.

“…OpsiteTM (Smith and Nephew, Hull, UK) is a thin, semipermeable film made from polyurethane and covered with hypoallergenic acrylic derivatives. It is more porous and permeable to water vapour and gases, but not permeable to the liquid from exudates 31 . The films generally are transparent, conform to contours and do not require additional taping.…”

There are a wide variety of dressing techniques available for the management of both acute and chronic wounds. The primary objective in both the cases is to achieve a healed wound. An ideal dressing material should accelerate wound healing and reduce loss of necessary fluids from the wound, and also help minimize pain and infection. The present trend is to promote the concept of moist wound healing. This article emphasizes on the importance of assessment of the wound, the volume of drainage fluid, amount of damage, presence of infection and location of wound for optimal wound healing.
