Barrier and antibacterial properties of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate-derived wound treatment films.
Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery 2003 January
BACKGROUND: Besides enhancing healing, an ideal dressing should prevent invasion of pathogens and control the number of bacteria already present in the wounds.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the barrier and antimicrobial properties of a cyanoacrylate-based bandage (LAB) against Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa on partial thickness wounds in swine.
METHODS: Barrier study: Bacteria were inoculated over test materials (LAB, standard bandage, air-exposed) that were placed over wounds. The bacteria from wounds were quantitated at 24, 48, and 72 hours postinoculation. Antimicrobial study: Wounds inoculated with bacteria were covered with LAB, standard bandage, or hydrocolloid bandage or left air-exposed. The bacteria recovered from wounds were quantitated at 24 and 72 hours after treatment.
RESULTS: Barrier study: No bacteria were recovered from LAB-treated wounds. Antimicrobial study: LAB reduced the number of inoculated bacteria in comparison to all other groups.
CONCLUSION: LAB is effective in protecting wounds from external bacterial invasion and reducing bacterial contamination.
