Wound coverings for removal of interfering factors from wound fluid
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of healing a wound comprising applying to a wound a composition comprising a carrier covalently bonded to at least one substance which interacts with interfering factors present in a wound exudate, said wound healing process being impeded by said factors, the interfering factors being ions and the substance which interacts with the interfering factors is a chelator.

- 1. A method of healing a wound comprising applying to a wound a composition comprising a carrier covalently bonded to at least one substance which interacts with interfering factors present in a wound exudate, said wound healing process being impeded by said factors, the interfering factors being ions and the substance which interacts with the interfering factors is a chelator.
- 4. A wound covering comprising a carrier covalently bound to at least one substance which interacts with interfering factors present in a wound exudate, which factors impede wound healing and are ions, said substance being a chelator selected from the group consisting of deferrioxamine, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, N,N'"'"'-bis-(o-hydroxybenzyl)-ethylenediamine-N,N'"'"'-diacetic acid, 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-pyrid-4-one and 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one.

6. A method of healing a wound comprising applying to a wound a composition comprising a carrier covalently bonded to at least one substance which interacts with interfering factors present in a wound exudate, said wound healing process being impeded by said factors, the interfering factors being selected from the group consisting of antigens, free radicals, ions, proteins, peptides, lipids and free fatty acids, said substance bonding, complexing or chelating said factors or chemically reacting with said factors.
