Summary for Patent: 5,260,066
Title: Cryogel bandage containing therapeutic agent
Abstract:A controlled-release bandage containing therapeutic agents in a poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogel is disclosed. The bandage may include particulate absorbants such as ion exchange resins and hydrophobic particles to further insure controlled and constant release of therapeutic agents. The bandage may also include plasticizing agents to provide softness in the event of drying the bandage.

Application Number:07/821,627
Patent Claims:1. A cryogel bandage for administering therapeutic agents to sites of trauma in mammals in need of such treatment by administering therapeutic agents thereto, the cryogel bandage comprising over 80% water, poly(vinyl alcohol) polymer, 90-100% hydrolysis, of molecular weight 50,000-250,000 daltons, a therapeutic agent, and insoluble particles capable of adsorbing or forming salts with the therapeutic agent.

2. The bandage of claim 1 further comprising an additive selected from the group of additives consisting of lubricants, pH buffers, plasticizers, and preservatives.

3. The bandage of claim 1 further comprising a support selected from the group of supports consisting of woven fabrics of naturally occurring fibers, woven fabrics of man made fibers, non-woven fabrics of naturally occurring fibers, non-woven fabrics of man-made fibers, strands of naturally occurring fibers, strands of man-made fibers, interconnected strands of man-made fibers and interconnected strands of naturally occurring fibers, polymer foams, and naturally occurring sponges.
