Irreversible, hydrophilic gels can be incorporated into dressing compositions, dermatological compositions, wound packings, wound dressings, burn dressings, drug delivery dressings, dry films, cosmetic masks and cosmetic wrap dressings. These irreversible, hydrophilic gels include a blend of a hydrophilic poly(aldehyde) and a polymer of a poly(amide), a poly(amine) and a poly(alcohol), and are prepared by grafting aldehyde monomers onto poly(N-vinyl lactams). |
