TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical dressings, and relates to a medical dressing containing high-concentration lactic acid and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Medical dressings are widely used in various wound care, and their main functions are to protect wounds, promote healing and prevent infection. In recent years, with the development of biomaterial science, medical dressings containing active ingredients have attracted more and more attention. Among these active ingredients, lactic acid is favored due to its good biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. Medical dressings containing high-concentration lactic acid can release lactic acid at the wound site, regulate the local pH, and inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, thereby promoting wound healing. In addition, lactic acid can stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts and accelerate tissue regeneration. Therefore, the development of medical dressings containing high-concentration lactic acid is of great significance to improve the level of wound care. However, due to the nature of lactic acid itself, its stability and release control in preparation and application are still technical challenges.
[0003] Although lactic acid has significant advantages in medical dressings, traditional medical dressings still have some shortcomings in practical application. In particular, when in contact with wound exudate, carbomer will undergo gel collapse in exudate containing Ca 2+ , resulting in poor physical properties of the dressing, such as reduced strength, weakened adhesion, and decreased absorption capacity. These performance reductions not only affect the protective effect of the wound, but also may prolong the healing time. In addition, enzymes and proteins in the exudate may react with the dressing material, further affecting its structure and function. Therefore, how to improve the stability and functionality of medical dressings in a wet environment has become a key issue to improve the effect of wound care.
[0004] When developing medical dressings, existing technologies often face some technical difficulties. In order to improve its stability and physical properties in a wet environment, carbomer usually needs to be modified. For example, through grafting reaction or crosslinking reaction to enhance its hydrophobicity and structural stability. However, these modification methods, although to some extent, improve the performance of carbomer, but also cause new problems. First, excessive hydrophobicity may lead to a decrease in the solubility of carbomer in wound exudate, thereby reducing the water absorption capacity of the dressing and affecting its adsorption and cleaning function of wound secretions. Second, the crosslinking modification of carbomer may make its molecular chain more rigid, resulting in a decrease in the softness of the dressing, and thus affecting its comfort and conformability during use. Therefore, although the modification of carbomer can enhance the performance of the dressing, how to balance its water absorption, stability and biocompatibility in the modification process, and avoid new adverse effects, is still a technical problem to be solved. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application aims to provide a medical dressing containing high concentration of lactic acid and a preparation method thereof, wherein the carbomer is modified to enhance the gel stability when contacting with wound exudate.

[0020] The hydrophilic carbomer (S3 product) is dispersed in deionized water to prepare a water phase carbomer with a concentration of 2% w / v, and Tween-80 (0.2% w / v) is added;
[0021] The oil phase carbomer is slowly added to the water phase carbomer (volume ratio 1:3-5), and high-speed homogenization (10000 rpm x 5min) is performed to form a W / O emulsion;
[0022] The W / O emulsion is added to a 1% PVA solution, and low-speed stirring (500 rpm x 10min) is performed to form a W / O / W re-emulsion; stirring at 40°C for 6h, volatilizing ethyl acetate, and solidifying the microgel, and then freeze-drying to obtain a core-shell microgel modified carbomer.

[0024] Further, the medical dressing containing high-concentration lactic acid and the preparation method thereof comprise the following steps:
[0025] (1) The modified carbomer microgel is dispersed in deionized water, and low-speed stirring is performed at 20-30 rpm to avoid structure damage, and the temperature is raised to 80-90°C for 20min to promote the swelling and cross-linking of the microgel;

[0126] Based on Example 1, ZrOCl2 in step S3 is replaced by titanium isopropylate, and the rest is consistent with Example 1.
[0127] Comparative Example 4
[0128] Based on Example 1, step S3 is performed before step S2, and the rest is consistent with Example 1.
[0129] Comparative Example 5
[0130] Based on Example 1, step S4 only proceeds to W / O emulsion, and the rest is consistent with Example 1.
[0131] Performance test:
[0132] Stability test: measure the energy storage (elasticity) and dissipation (viscosity) characteristics G' of the material in deformation by applying oscillatory stress by a rheometer; measure the change in G' before and after the sample prepared by the example and the comparative example is immersed in 5mM CaCl solution for 72h.
[0133]
[0134] As can be seen from the test results, Examples 1-4 all show a high G' retention rate, indicating that the modified carbomer has good mechanical stability in a humid environment;
[0135] The retention rate of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 is significantly lower than that of the examples, indicating that the modification effect of grafting and chemical crosslinking on the carbomer is significant;
[0136] Comparative Example 3 uses titanium isopropylate to replace ZrOCl2, and the retention rate decreases, indicating that ZrOCl2
[0137] The effect is better in coordination crosslinking;
[0138] The retention rate decreases after changing the order of steps in Comparative Example 4.
[0139] The retention rate significantly decreases in Comparative Example 5 without W / O / W re-emulsification, only to W / O emulsion, indicating the importance of the re-emulsification step to the structural stability of the microgel.
