Abstract: A method for preventing and/or treating a disease associated with increased interleukin-1? and/or interleukin-6 and/or interleukin-8 activity and/or disease, in which a reduction in the activity of interleukin-1? and/or interleukin-6 and/or interleukin-8 is beneficial for healing includes utilizing a silicon-containing, biodegradable material containing a polyhydroxysilicic acid ethyl ester compound, with the proviso that wound defects including chronic diabetic-neuropathic ulcer, chronic leg ulcer, bedsores, secondary-healing infected wounds, non-irritating, primary-healing wounds, ablative lacerations and/or abrasions, are excluded from said disease that is prevented and/or treated with the silicon-containing, biodegradable material.

Abstract: Methods accelerate healing of a wound by applying a multilayer bandage to the wound. The multilayer bandage has a spun-bonded webbing comprising at least one partially or completely hydrolytically condensed silicon compound and a water-impervious or semi-permeable first membrane having at least one water-insoluble polymer. The webbing has a biologically degradable or biologically resorbable structure and is brought into direct contact with the wound by placing the webbing in or on the wound.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multilayer bandage, having a webbing for contacting a wound and a first membrane that has at least one water-insoluble polymer and is water-impervious. The present invention further provides methods for making the multilayer bandage, methods of using the multilayer bandage for accelerated wound healing, and kits having compositions of the present invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel silica sol material containing at least one therapeutically active ingredient and its use for the production of bioabsorbable and biodegradable silica gel materials with improved properties. The materials, such as, for example, fibers, fleeces, powder, monolith and/or coating are employed, for example, in medical technology and/or human medicine, in particular for wound treatment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multilayer bandage, comprising a webbing for contacting a wound and a first membrane that comprises at least one water-insoluble polymer and is water-impervious. The present invention further provides methods for making the multilayer bandage, methods of using the multilayer bandage for accelerated wound healing, and kits comprising compositions of the present invention.
