Investigating the microbial and metalloprotease sequestration properties of superabsorbent wound dressings
Abstract Exudate production is a natural part of the wound healing process, however levels of exudate need to be appropriately managed to maintain a moist wound environment which supports healing. An overly-exuding wound creates an environment favourable to bacterial growth. In recent years, a signi...
