SPRAY-ON BANDAGEâ€Â; AN OVERVIEW
*Gowthamarajan. K and Thinley Tsomu
ABSTRACT
A Spray-on bandage is a special liquid version that is sprayed on via a pump much like a hairspray container. In other words, a bandage formed in situ on a wound by spraying on separately or simultaneously a hydrophilic water-insoluble polymer and a high boiling plasticizer or solvent therefore. They are most often used to cover and protect small cuts, minor scraps but not major wounds. This review summarizes insights into the preparation procedure and evaluation methods of spray-on bandages, their different existing forms with different drugs and polymers and plasticizers (marketed and research) and their future development as a novel drug delivery system.
Keywords: different drugs, polymers and plasticizers.
