ABSTRACT:
Spray bandages are a novel class of topical hemostatic and protective agents designed to foster rapid, non-contact application and conformal coverage of superficial dermal injuries. These formulations typically consist of a hydrophilic polymeric carrier system dissolved or suspended in a volatile solvent, optionally augmented with bioactive agents such as antimicrobials, analgesics, or mitogenic compounds. When sprayed the solvent rapidly evaporates leaving behind a continuous, semi-occlusive polymeric film that adheres to the wound. This film serves as a mechanical barrier against microbial infiltration while preserving a moist wound-healing microenvironment—conditions preferable for epithelial regeneration. Despite several benefits there are challenges regarding standardization, long term safety and economic viability of formulation still exists. This review deals with the preparation and evaluation methods of spray-on bandages, their existing problems and to approaches made to overcome the issue giving outline for future novel drug delivery systems with huge market potential.
