This invention is a composition comprising a cyclic siloxane, a silicone occlusive fluid, a silicone occlusive gel, and a silicone resin powder. The composition is useful for wound healing. 1. A method for the treatment of wounds to reduce scaring comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a composition comprising:a. a cyclic siloxane;b. a silicone occlusive fluid;c. a silicone occlusive gel; andd. a silicone resin powder.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises an ascorbic acid ester or salt thereof. This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional application Ser. No. 60/997,166, filed Sep. 30, 2007, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.The present invention relates to compositions containing various silicone compounds, which are suitable for promoting the healing of skin wounds and for the prevention of scarring.Significant skin wounds, such as are caused by injury or surgery, frequently lead to scarring. Scarring in many instances results in a diminished sense of touch, loss of flexibility and loss of range of motion (where scars run across joints). Scarring also results in obvious cosmetic problems, particularly when on the face and hands. Skin wounds are also pane to infection, and even with conventional dressings, infections are fairly common. Burn victims are particularly susceptible to infections, and can be left with severe scarring when the wounds heal. There is a need for methods of treatment of skin injuries that minimize or eliminate scar formation.Conventional wound dressings, such as are made from cotton gauze and various polymers, leave much to be desired, especially when a large area of skin must be dressed. The ability of the dressing to remain in place and protect the wound becomes progressively more compromised as the area of the wound increases, while at the same time the removal the dressing without injury to the underlying tissue becomes ...

Oxygenated Oil Ointment

Автор: Young John D.

An oxygenated oil ointment is made, for example, by stirring or agitating plant-based oil while injecting a gas into the plant-based oil, resulting in a coagulated ointment that is beneficial for topical application. In one example, the plant-based oil is olive oil and the gas includes ozone, which is known to kill pathogens. For some plant-based oils, the ozone increases amounts of peroxide in the plant-based oils. Once the olive oil coagulates with the ozone, the resulting ointment retains some of the ozone gas until the ointment is applied on the skin for treatment of, for example, cuts and sores. In some ointments, the pH of the plant-based oil is increased by adding one or more alkaline materials to the plant-based oil before coagulation occurs. This increase in alkalinity improves the ointment's ability to give off ozone and oxygen. 1.
