Abstract
Composition for promoting healing containing, as a healing agent, nonionic vesicles obtained from a lipid mixture containing at least one nonionic lipid having the formula; ##STR1## wherein R is either at least one C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 radical, or R'CO wherein R' is at least one C.sub.15 -C.sub.17 alkyl radical, in combination with cholesterol and, optionally, dicetylphosphate or tetracetylphospate. This composition can be used topically to accelerate the scarring of wounds.
Claims2
A process for promoting and accelerating the healing of a wound of living animal tissue reaching the dermis comprising topically applying on the portion of the skin on which the wound appears a healing amount of a composition comprising a dispersion, in an aqueous phase, of vesicles having accelerating wound healing properties, the amphiphilic lipid material of said vesicles consisting of an amphiphilic nonionic lipid consisting of a lipid having the formula ##STR5## wherein R represents (1) a C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 alkyl radical or a mixture thereof or (2) an R'CO radical, wherein R' is at least one C.sub.15 -C.sub.17 alkyl radical or a mixture thereof,
- said amphiphilic nonionic lipid being combined with cholesterol, the total vesicular lipid concentration in said composition ranging from 5 to 25 percent by weight based on the total weight of said composition.
