Abstract
Abstract An absorbing dressing for wounds consists of spherical particles of regenerated cellulose of the size 0.05-0.5 mm and a macroporous structure characterized by the cyclohexane regain of the dry material at least 0.2 ml/g. The dressing is prepared from the regenerated cellulose swollen with water by replacement with organic solvents and the subsequent drying of the product swollen with the said solvent and impregnated with a therapeutically active compound.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
A powder dressing for wounds comprising spherical particles of water swollen regenerated cellulose beads wherein the water had first been replaced by an organic solvent, the solvent sequentially removed, the beads dried and impregnated with a solution of a therapeutically active compound, said particles having a diameter of between 0.05 to 0.5 mm and a macroporous structure characterized by a porosity in the dry state corresponding to the cyclohexane regain of at least 0.2 ml/g of the dry material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
79 words
A powder dressing for wounds comprising spherical particles of water swollen regenerated cellulose beads wherein the water had first been replaced by an organic solvent, the solvent sequentially removed, the beads dried and impregnated with a solution of a therapeutically active compound, said particles having a diameter of between 0.05 to 0.5 mm and a macroporous structure characterized by a porosity in the dry state corresponding to the cyclohexane regain of at least 0.2 ml/g of the dry material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The dressing according to claim 1 wherein the particles have a diameter of 0.05 to 0.3 mm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
80 words
A powder dressing for wounds comprising spherical particles of water swollen regenerated cellulose beads wherein the water had first been replaced by an organic solvent, the solvent sequentially removed, the beads dried and sterilized by gamma rays and packed in sealed sterilized containers, said particles having a diameter of between 0.05 to 0.5 mm and a macroporous structure characterized by a porosity in the dry state corresponding to the cyclohexane regain of at least 0.2 ml/g of the dry material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
80 words
A powder dressing for wounds comprising spherical particles of water swollen regenerated cellulose beads wherein the water had first been replaced by an organic solvent, the solvent sequentially removed, the beads dried and sterilized by gamma rays and packed in sealed sterilized containers, said particles having a diameter of between 0.05 to 0.5 mm and a macroporous structure characterized by a porosity in the dry state corresponding to the cyclohexane regain of at least 0.2 ml/g of the dry material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
The dressing according to claim 3 wherein the particles have a diameter of 0.05 to 0.3 mm.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
192 words
A method for forming a powder dressing for wounds which consists of the sequence of steps comprising water swelling a mass of regenerated celluose beads, contacting said water swollen beads with 2-20 volumes of an organic solvent solution per one volume of said swollen beads selected from the group consisting of (a) a water miscible, (b) a partly water miscible, or (c) a mixture of a water miscible and a water immissible organic solvent, and capable of absorbing at least 5 percent water to form a mixture of solvent and water, at a temperature between the ambient temperature and the boiling temperature of the solvent, removing the water from said mixture until all the water in said mixture and said beads is replaced with solvent and said solvent maintains said beads swollen, removing said solvent and drying said beads, separating from said dried beads those particles having a diameter of at least 0.05 mm and a macroporous structure characterized by a porosity in the dry state corresponding to the cyclohexane regain of at least 0.2 ml/g ofthe dry material and impregnating said separated dried particles with a solution of therapeutically active compounds.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
192 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method according to claim 5 wherein said particles are sterilized by gamma rays.
