The new implemented wound dressings should meet several requirements connected with the clinical safety and performance. The series of PN-EN 13726 Standards describes the tests methods for the verification the most important parameters related to mentioned performance and safety of a new designed wound dressing being the base for the risk analysis (according to PN-EN ISO 14971:2009 Standard). The aim of the research was to evaluate the behavior of several types of new designed prototypes of innovative wound dressings made of various form of chitosan (such as: foams, films, etc.). The behavior of studied chitosan wound dressings was evaluated before and after of accelerated aging according to ASTM F 1980-07:2002 to establish the effect of the wound dressings storing conditions. The presented study is a continuation of earlier research.
