Abstract: A mesh-based composition comprising a cross-linkable protein or polypeptide and one or more cross-linking materials according to at least some embodiments. The mesh-based composition may comprise a self-adhering surgical mesh which requires no additional fixation while at the same time minimizes adhesions. The mesh may be in the form of a composite mesh featuring a foamed composition of the cross-linkable protein and a non-toxic material that induces cross-linking of the cross-linkable protein. The composite mesh may be in a sheet-like form.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a composition, including: a sufficient first amount of a first active agent dispersion; where the first active agent dispersion has a pKa of 0.1-2.0, where the first active agent dispersion is selected from the group consisting of: an acid cation exchange resin, an acidic zeolite, an acidic clay, an organic acid, an inorganic acid, and any combination thereof, and where the first active agent dispersion includes a plurality of particles; where the plurality of particles has a median diameter of between 0.5-1000 micrometers; and a sufficient second amount of at least one chlorite salt dispersion; where, when the composition is contacted with an aqueous liquid, the sufficient first amount of the first active agent dispersion and the sufficient second amount of the at least one chlorite salt dispersion results in a generation of chlorine dioxide radicals.
