[In vitro studies on Geliperm Dry as a vehicle for antibiotics and antiseptics in local burn therapy].

Geliperm is a synthetic skin substitute, consisting of polysaccharid-polyacrylic plates. It is available as a soaked or a dried form (Geliperm dry). Geliperm dry can be soaked in antibiotic or antiseptic solutions. The in vitro inhibition of bacterial growth has been measured. The optimal concentrations have been evaluated. Geliperm dry soaked in antibiotic or antiseptic solutions can be used in the treatment of burns, but does not replace early excision of burned tissue or infected necrosis.
