Drug delivery dressings

Abstract: This chapter concerns the targeted and sustained topical delivery of therapeutic agents to chronic wounds using natural and synthetic polymer carriers. It outlines the role of drug delivery dressings in wound management and focuses on the delivery of antimicrobials and growth factors to facilitate the healing process. Using the established dressing categories of hydrocolloids, hydrogels, collagen and alginates, it reviews recent research, limiting discussion to combinations of polymer and therapeutic agent. Traditional dressings composed of cotton wool, lint, natural or synthetic bandages and gauzes are only discussed in terms of secondary dressings for the primary dressings of interest.
