Abstract
THE Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain has issued a report on “Dressings” by a sub-committee of the Codex Revision Committee (Pharmaceutical Press, 23 Bloomsbury Square, London, W.C.I. Is. 6d). It contains a summary of standards for surgical dressings, provisionally accepted for inclusion in the British Pharmaceutical Codex, 1934, which should provide information useful for manufacturers and others. The standards suggested include those for the basic materials, such as jute, silk and wool, and for dressings such as phenol and mercuric chloride gauzes, and others, as well as methods for the determination of moisture, water extract, foreign matter, cotton and wool in the dressings.
