Abstract: Five different kinds of PU foam wound dressings were prepared to investigate their wound healing capability. They include (i) PU+silver sulfadiazine (AgSD), (ii) PU+alginate (Al), (iii) PU+Al+AgSD, (i.v.) PU+hyaluronic acid (HA), and (v) PU+HA+AgSD. Physical properties and in vitro behaviors of AgSD release and fibroblast adhesion on those dressings were evaluated. From the drug release and fibroblast adhesion studies, it was observed that PU foam impregnated with both HA and AgSD shows good drug release behav… Show more

“…Drug occlusion into the pores of the support and stronger drug-framework silver ions interaction could be the reason for its extended release. This prolonged release of SD is similar to that of found on silver containing nanoporous silica materials [29], but much faster than on polymer based systems loaded with AgSD [39].…”

“…In comparison to organic antibiotic, silver ions are active against a broad spectrum of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and the risk of resistance development is much lower. For these reasons, medical devices like catheters (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25), heart valve sewing cuffs (21,26,27), wound dressings (2,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33), or sutures (21,34) are coated with elemental silver (2,21,26,27,30,31,33), silver sulfadiazine (18, 19, 21-23, 28-30, 33), silver ion containing hydrogels (21,25,33), or silver ion doped bioglasses (20,24,34) to minimize the risk of infection. The antimicrobial efficacy of coatings containing ionic silver or elemental silver nanoparticles was shown in many studies.…”

“…The water uptake of the polymer matrix appears to be a crucial factor for silver ion release. Additives improving the water uptake were shown to increase the silver ion release (29). .…”

“…Composite polyurethane foams impregnated with HA and silver sulfadiazine have been shown to reduce wound size significantly in an experimental rat model [277]. Another HA-based composite hydrogel for tissue repairing application is developed by either crosslinking of HA with glycidyl methacrylate groups and DNA [278], or functionalization of HA with thiol cross-linking sites [279].…”
