Topical therapy with 2.5% calcium gluconate gel is considered as the “first-aid” treatment of accidental hydrofluoric acid skin burns. The efficacy of three different gel formulations varying in the amount and/or nature of their gelling and moisturizing agents was experimentally evaluated. Thirty male Wistar-Han rats (250 g) were exposed to 60 &mgr;l of 40% hydrofluoric acid for 2 minutes on two spots (4 cm2) of skin under pentobarbital anesthesia. One lesion was massaged with 1 g of gel (10… Expand
