[Experimental testing of hydrogel dressings POLGEL based on the basis of synthetic monomers]

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.
