Original Abstract

Hydrogel based materials are promising candidates for effective treatment of skin defects (acute, chronic). A variety of materials including synthetic and natural polymers are widely used to produce gels, hydrogels, or thin films. This work is focused on the preparation of a cost-effective hydrogel dressing consisting of both natural and synthetic polymers. Natural polysaccharide Gum Karaya (GK) was chosen as a promising renewable resourced compound due to its low price, abundancy, hydrophilicity, and potential antimicrobial properties. GK solution has been modified with hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol), and an emollient component to obtain a soft, transparent, and elastic dressing by freeze-drying.
