[A comparative study of charcoal sorbents for local wound treatment].

The laboratory and medico-biological findings made it possible to choose the most suitable carbonaceous sorbents for local management of wounds, basing on the fact that every carbonaceous material has strictly selected capacity for protein and microbe sorption, and also can be the carrier of the water-miscible drugs. The "Dnieper-MN" carbonaceous fabric and "Aktilen" fibrous sorbent have the best features for sorption. It is possible to use these materials for the construction of bandages to treat wounds and burns which have little exudation. "Karpema" and "AUTM-2" sorbents, which are characterized by the low degree of activation, can be used for the manufacturing of surgical pads. "Karpema" being strong and having a less fiber structure, has a good electrical conductivity and, thus, can be used as medical electrodes.
