  • Wound Dressings Comprising a Protein Polymer and a Polyfunctional Spacer
    Publication number: 20080254103
    Abstract: There is described a method of forming a wound dressing. The method comprises forming a protein polymer by reacting a protein with a polyfunctional spacer, or an activated derivative thereof. The polyfunctional spacer is preferably a polycarboxylic acid, especially a dicarboxylic acid, and protein polymers prepared using such spacers are suitable for a wide range of therapeutic applications, including use as wound dressings, for the delivery of therapeutically active agents to the body and as bioadhesives and sealants.
