Bacterial Growth Kinetics under a Novel Flexible Methacrylate Dressing Serving as a Drug Delivery Vehicle for Antiseptics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A flexible methacrylate powder dressing (Altrazeal®) transforms into a wound contour conforming matrix once in contact with wound exudate. We hypothesised that it may also serve as a drug delivery vehicle for antiseptics.

Combination of natural polyanions and polycations based on interfacial complexation for multi-functionalization of wound dressings

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Multi-functionalization of wound dressings with natural polymers is meaningful and remains a challenge. The combination of natural polyanions and polycations appears to be a promising strategy. Still, its performances based on current layer-by-layer self-
