  • Patent number: 10517989
    Abstract: An enhanced medical dressing for treatment of wounds is provided. A dressing is augmented by one or more enhancers thereon. The enhancers include a collagen, an antibiotic, or both. The enhanced medical dressing is prepared by placing and mixing the collagen, the antibiotic, and the dressing within a container. On mixing, the enhanced medical dressing is formed such that the enhancer adheres to the dressing by, for example, adsorption or an electrostatic force. The enhanced medical dressing when applied to the wound causes the collagen and the antibiotic to be released into the wound. Further, the enhanced medical dressing degrades over time due to contact with physiological moisture.
