In the Department of Experimental Surgery and
Biomaterials Research in Wrocłow Medical Academy standard and qualifying evaluation of 5 kinds of
hydrogel dressings
POLGEL produced in the Institute of Physico-Chemistry and Technology of
Polymers of produced in Silesian Polytechnique has been carried out. Dressings
Polgel were obtained as a result of copolymerization of acrylamide and methylene-bis-acrylamide in aqueous
solution. On the basis of introductory experiments for qualifying evaluation dressing
Polgel M modified with
glycerin in the form of foil and dressing
Polgel T--in the form of jelly were chosen. Both kinds of dressings did not cause haemolytic, toxic or irritative effects. In pathomorphological experiments moderate tissues reaction was noticed what signifies good
biological characteristics of the evaluated dressings. The process of healing of
injuries treated with dressings
Polgel M proceeded well and epidermis creating was quicker in comparison with
injuries treated with traditional dressing. On the basis of the carried out experiments it was noticed that dressings
Polgel M and T satisfy the requirements made for the type of materials.
