  • Publication number: 20040151765
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for wound management that comprise contacting a wound of a patient with an effective amount of a therapeutic composition comprising a chelating agent, a pH buffering agent, an antimicrobial agent, Vitamin E and a carrier and a surfactant. The antimicrobial agent(s) has increased antimicrobial activity because of the synergy with the chelating agent and maintenance of the treated area at a pH suitable for sustained antibiotic activity so that the antimicrobial agent can be used in effective doses that are less than in the absence of the chelator. The Vitamin E promotes tissue repair, reducing the likelihood of opportunistic infection, improving wound healing and reducing pain sensation. The wound management methods of the present invention further include contacting the wound with a medical dressing having an effective amount of the composition deposited thereon.
