چکیده
Methods The Biogard√ paper substrate was treated by impregnation with patented harmless active compounds. Antibacterial activity against Eschericha coli and Staphylococcus aureus was determined using ISO 20743 (transfer method) standard, antifungal activity using AATCC 30 (part III) against Aspergillus niger and antiviral activity using EN 1447666+A1 standard against H1H1 influenza A virus. Biocompatibility was assessed according to ISO 10993 standard with a skin irritation study in the rabbit and a sensitization study in the guinea pig.
