Abstract
Materials based on natural polysaccharides are increasingly used for innovative wound dressings which have more extensive requirements that current medical products on the market cannot provide [1]. The issue of open wounds treatment became crucial in Ukraine due to the ongoing war, necessitating wound dressings that provide mechanical, antibacterial protection, and accelerate healing process. In this work, ethonium-containing hydrogel films were developed using partially hydrophobized alginate (AlgM) unmodified alginate (Alg) and 1:1 mixture of Alg and AlgM (Alg+AlgM). These films were studied to determine the effect of alginate modification on ethonium release kinetics.
