In Vitro and In Vivo Comparison of a Novel Antimicrobial Wound Hydrogel With Commercial Wound Treatments: Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm and Biocompatibility Assessment [PDF]
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and biofilm formation significantly hinder chronic wound management, necessitating safer and more effective therapeutic options. This study evaluates the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, cytocompatibility and anti‐inflammatory properties of a novel antimicrobial hydrogel Formulation (#1) compared with commercially ...
