Polymeric multilayers that localize the release of chlorhexidine from biologic wound dressings [PDF]

Biomaterials, 2012
Biologic wound dressings contain animal-derived components and are susceptible to high infection rates. To address this issue, we report an approach that permits incorporation of non-toxic levels of the small molecule antiseptic 'chlorhexidine' into biologic dressings.

The effect of chlorhexidine supplementation in a periodontal dressing

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 1989
Most commercial periodontal dressings claiming antibacterial activity lose this activity shortly after application. Chlorhexidine (CH) is an antibacterial agent with long-term activity in the oral cavity owing to its substantiveness and slow-release properties. In a double-blind split-mouth-designed clinical trial the effect of incorporating CH acetate

Synthesis of polymeric hydrogels incorporating chlorhexidine gluconate as antibacterial wound dressings

Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 2020
Antibacterial hydrogels based on poly(sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate) and gelatin and incorporating chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) as a drug were fabricated. The work focused on the effects of varying the CHG concentration. The hydrogel containing 0.02% w/v of CHG was chosen as the drug-loaded hydrogel for comparison with the hydrogel ...

A Chlorhexidine‐containing Methacrylic Gel as a Periodontal Dressing

Journal of Periodontology, 1975
The modification of a methacrylic gel for use as a periodontal dressing was attempted. The increased adhesion and rigidity of the resultant material appeared consistent with the clinical findings. Satisfactory retention of the dressing was found in 85% of those placed on a group of patients attending for periodontal surgery.
