Methoxy polyethylene glycol for use as a medicament, in particular in skin healing, wound healing and treatment of a microbial infection. A method for treating a medical device and/or implant to reduce or eliminate microbial contamination comprises applying a liquid formulation comprising methoxy polyethylene glycol. This invention relates to the novel discovery that methoxy polyethylene glycol, an inactive polymer with no known pharmacological effect, was able to come between microbes and a surface, removing the microbes or releasing the attachment or adherence of the microbes to the surface and thereby improving wound healing significantly, eliminating infections and colonies of microbes.

The invention provides a method for removing haze and inhibiting bacteria. First preparing a dehaze and bacteriostatic film comprising a substrate material layer and a composite surface plasmon layer. The composite surface plasmon layer includes a particle stacked film layer and a particle suspension layer which jointly generate a composite surface plasmon wave. Then, exciting the composite surface plasmon wave by visible light to resonate different types of surface plasmon waves generated by the composite surface plasmon wave, and adding up energy of the surface plasmon waves to ionize water and oxygen. Since energy of the generated electromagnetic field can ionize substances at a certain distance, such as dissociated water is rich in hydroxide ions that performs dehaze and bacteriostatic effect. The dehaze and bacteriostatic effect can be enhanced through increasing in thickness (number of layers) of the particle stacked film layer and the particle suspension layer.
