Abstract:
A sterile nonstick compress, comprising an open-mesh flexible fabric, said fabric comprising yarns which are coated with a cohesive and nonstick gel so as to leave the meshes essentially unobstructed, wherein the yarns are continuous filaments of low extensibility and the gel is formed from a highly plasticized hydrophobic elastomeric matrix containing 1000 to 2000 parts of an oily plasticizer based on parafin oil and 0 to 400 parts of petrolum and a dispersion of hydrophillic particles of a hydrocolloid, said hydrocolloid being present in an amount of from 3 to 20% by weigt of said gel;wherein said hydrophobic elastomeric matrix comprises a high-molecular-weight triblock elastomer which is one of styrene-ethylene/butylene styrene, styrene-ethylene/propylene-styrene or mixtures thereof.
