摘要：
A wound dressing capable of in-situ NOx (nitrogen oxides) release which would be a cost-effective and readily affordable for diverse and wide application and use to treat variety of wound conditions is disclosed. A simple process for the development of a convenient and affordable dressing is also disclosed that would be adapted to release products of acidified sodium nitrite, supplement healing and would not require stringent storage conditions wherein said dressing is a dry dressing which at the time of application, is wetted by a sterile solution of nitrite source, upon which the product becomes moist and swelled, releasing gaseous products with powerful antimicrobial properties. The product is advantageously inactive till hydrated and can be stored in a dry form until the time of usage, Storage at ambient temperature and humidity up to 24 months does not diminish its efficacy. The product is targeted to be extremely effective against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria as well as fungi, which are known to infect wounds. The gaseous chemicals released by the activated product of the present advancement can bring down the microbial load on a surface substantially (6-log reduction).
