Patent

CA 2397614

The present invention is directed to the use of honey in medical dressings. Preferred embodiments modify honey with a viscosity increasing agent, resulting in a range of possible compositions including ointments and salves, self-adhesive gels such as for use on mouth ulcers and pustules, and pliable or flexible sheets which can be used as a wound covering. Preferred viscosity increasing agents include both particulate and continuous gels, respective examples of each including agars and alginates. Selected honeys preferably, but not necessarily, exhibit antibacterial properties other than what is merely conferred by osmolarity and sugar concentration effects.

La présente invention concerne l'utilisation de miel dans des pansements médicaux. Dans des modes de réalisation préférés, le miel est modifié au moyen d'un agent augmentant la viscosité, offrant ainsi une gamme de compositions possibles composée d'onguents, de pommades, de gels auto-adhésifs pouvant être utilisés sur des aphtes et des pustules buccaux, et de feuilles pliables ou flexibles pouvant être utilisées en tant que couverture de plaies. Les miels choisis peuvent éventuellement présenter des propriétés anti-bactériennes différentes de celles habituellement conférées par des effets d'osmolarité ou de concentration de sucre.
