INTRODUCTION
A useful dressing for wounds not only facilitates healing but also has antimicrobial properties. A new Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved occlusive dressing (Elastic Skin Liquid Bandage, Medpak, LLC) first introduced 3 years ago, fulfills both requirements. This product consists of an organic polymer, known as polymer A, which is applied to the wound in liquid form. Polymer A is in methylene chloride which an anhydrous halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon that is used commercially as a solvent in many different industries including pharmaceutical manufacturing. When applied to wounds, the solvent evaporates producing a elastic, transparent and occlusive dressing. It has already been used on hundreds of wounds secondary to trauma, shave biopsies, and Mohs micrographic surgery, including on flap and full-thickness skin graft repairs.
