Abstract

Currently, look for alternative healing membranes that can perform actions such as safe and secure physical barrier, allowing proper gas exchange, being clinically effective, easy to apply, manipulating and assisting in wound care. Face this need, demonstration or potential of bull skin for use as a healing membrane, being used in this work antibiotic for skin disinfection. O ozone (O-3) is known for its high antimicrobial effect without development of resistant tissue. The present work had standardized disinfection performance using ozone and the bull skin membrane lifetime test. Opened in February 2019 and after verified microbiological test-if there was no contamination. Through the preliminary results of the useful life test, the next steps of the study to evaluate dressings in animal model were determined. (AU)
