Thus, the incorporation of antimicrobial agents such as silver, iodine, etc., into the dressing material provides protection against microbes. One of the element available in market is Dimethyl tetradecyl [3-(trimethoxysily l) propy l] ammonium chloride (DTAC) based 3D-hydrocellular wound dressings have emerged. In this article we highlight the roleof DTAC based 3D-hydrocellular microbicidal wound dressing.
