Summary:Wound filling compositions containing: (a) chitosan, (b) at least one compatible hydrocolloid material other than chitosan, and (c) water, exhibit a variety of properties desirable for use in filling large wounds such as dermal ulcers, yet do not exhibit syneresis. Preferred compositions exhibit antimicrobial activity, wound heading capability, a viscosity suitable to allow them to be applied to and remain in an open wound, and are able to absorb wound exudate.
