Abstract
A method is disclosed for treating the burned surface of an animal by administering to said surface a contact composition comprising a hydrophobic, bioerodible polymer containing an agent selected from the group consisting of antibacterial, antibiotic, antifungal, proteolytic enzyme and mixtures thereof, which composition when placed in contact with the burned surface maintains homeostasis including prevention of tissue dehydration and thermal loss, and as the polymer bioerodes over time, releases agent to produce a continuous chemoprophylatic or chemotherapeutic effect.
