Abstract

Gel in situ films are liquid preparations that are applied directly to the skin and form a thin film locally after application. In this study, gel in situ film was prepared from Eudragit RS 100, Eudragit  RL 100 and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose E6 with volatile solvents and plasticizer triethyl citrate. The liquid gel was easy to use, it created a film on the skin quickly within 2 minutes. The formed film had good mechanical strength and high elasticity. The film on the skin could be well waterproof within 3 hours and had good adhesion on the skin in water for 3 hours. The product was suitable for covering skin rhagades in all shapes and sizes, which created favorable condition for wound healing and ensured normal labor activities. The were no signs of allergic reaction on the rabbit’s skin after 72 hours of applying the hydrogel.
