A method for wound management in the prevention of bioburden and/or biofilm includes conducting an initial risk assessment protocol with regard to a wound, washing the wound and surrounding skin, applying a polyethylene carbonate composition on and around the wound, eradicating any organisms as methylene chloride of the polyethylene carbonate composition evaporates and polyethylene carbonate polymer of the polyethylene carbonate composition polymerizes, and allowing time for formation of a clear elastomeric film barrier over the wound and around the wound.
