Abstract
Abstract A bandage composition especially suitable for application from aerosol containers onto wound surfaces. These compositions comprise Ax By Az block polymers wherein the Ax and Az blocks are a non-elastomeric polymers and the By block is an elastomeric polymer, together with solvents for the block polymers and propellants. The composition may also include local anesthetics and antibiotic or antiseptic agents. When applied to a wound surface, an opaque adherent flexible fibril mat, which is breathable to air, yet is largely occlusive to liquids is formed.
