Abstract |
Wound associated with diabetes, bed rest injury or post burn wound create real challenge in development of new healing stimulating substances and procedures. Our new approach is to combine new bandage with combination of complementally medicines. The new bandage is a specially prepared keratin powder impregnated with antimicrobial and healing stimulating substances that could be applied directly on wound surface. The keratin preparation forms scab keratin that eliminates body fluids loss and isolates wound from invading microbes. In addition the keratin forms skeleton for reconstructing wound tissues. The active substances that are released from the keratin speed up healing process. Acknowledge: Project partially supported by Polish Ministry of Education and Science grant no. 1352/TO9/2005/29 |
