Abstract

A new low-toxic antimicrobial preparation is proposed to impregnate woven materials used in treatment of pyo-inflammatory wounds contaminated with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as with pathogenic fungi as a result of an artificial infection. Sodic form of sudamate is less toxic, its bactericidal effect being 3-5 times more effective than that of hexachlorophene.
