Claim Text:
1. A cutaneous injury treatment system comprising: a storage reservoir containing a volume of S-nitrosothiol; a reactive medium comprising a transition metal component reactable with said S-nitrosothiol to release a therapeutically effective amount of nitric oxide, the reactive medium being selected from the group consisting of a polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposite, a glass nanocomposite impregnated with at least one of gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles and copper nanoparticles, and a cotton gauze substrate impregnated with at least one of gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles and copper nanoparticles, a storage barrier for maintaining said volume of S-nitrosothiol in said reservoir physically separate from said reactive medium during storage or transport of said cutaneous injury treatment system; and wherein said system is selectively activatable to effect the mixture of at least part of said volume of S-nitrosothiol and said reactive medium to release said amount of nitric oxide.
