  • Patent number: 8197835
    Abstract: The present invention relates to biomedical foam articles for the wound sector which are formed by spraying a polymeric dispersion onto a wound. The polymeric dispersion being sprayed onto a wound surface forms a three-dimensional body which conforms to the spatial shape of the wound and which, as well as covering the wound surface, ensures a complete and accurately fitted packing of the wound in the depth dimension as well as the other dimensions. The biomedical foam articles of the present invention are particularly useful for treating chronic wounds.

  • Publication number: 20100172889
    Abstract: This document provides methods and materials related to degradable biomolecule compositions. For example, methods and materials related to compositions having one or more biomolecules and one or more biomolecule degrading enzymes having activity to degrade the one or more biomolecules of the composition are provided. In some cases, the degradable biomolecule compositions provided herein can be used as wound dressings to facilitate wound healing, as tissue scaffolds or tissue matrices to promote tissue growth or tissue regeneration, as bulking agents to provide bulk to tissue in a temporary manner, and as non-medical devices to provide compositions that are degradable.
