Hydrogel: A Praiseworthy Medical Device for Wound care and Transdermal Drug Delevery
Original language description
Hydrogel is a cross-linked polymer. It is a network of polymer chains that are water-insoluble, sometimes found as a colloidal gel in which water is the dispersion medium. It is originally developed in the 1950s by Czech chemist Otto Wichterle and Drahoslav Lim [1, 2].In 1954 hydrogels were used in human surgery but contact lens manufacturers derided the idea of a soft lens [2]. Ranter and Hoffman in 1976 reported that hydrogels resemble natural living tissue more than any other class of synthetic biomaterial due to their high water content and soft consistency [3]. Beside this, numerous authors have reported on hydrogel technologies providing products suitable for biomedical applications. Because of biocompatible, soft, transparent and non-adherent properties of hydrogel, it could be considered as a useful medical device for health care especially for wound (cut or burn) dressing or wound healing purposes. Hydrogels to be used as wound burn dressings were invented by Rosiak et al. in
