The present invention relates to a wound dressing material comprising a fibrillated acellular dermis matrix and a biodegradable polymer aqueous solution and, more specifically, to: a wound dressing material comprising 5-20 wt % of a fibrillated acellular dermis matrix, 0.5-5 wt % of a biodegradable polymer, and 75-94.5 wt % of water; and a preparation method therefor.

Disclosed is a hydrophilic dressing (200) having appropriate mechanical strength, comprising a composite material (100, 220) and a film (210). The composite material (100, 220) comprises a hydrophilic substrate material (110) and a compound (120) that promotes wound healing, wherein the hydrophilic substrate material (110) is a reaction product of a hydrophilic polymer, wherein the hydrophilic polymer comprises a hydrophilic monomer, a cross-linking agent and an inorganic silicon-oxygen compound, wherein the compound (120) that promotes wound healing is distributed in the hydrophilic substrate material (110).

This disclosure relates to dermal treatment compositions, such as dermal fillers and tissue glues, and injectable compositions that incorporate one or more cationic steroidal antimicrobials (CSAs). The CSAs are incorporated into the dermal treatment compositions to provide effective antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-swelling and/or tissue-healing properties. A treatment composition includes a component formed from a biologically compatible material suitable for injection into and/or application onto tissue at a treatment site. One or more CSA compounds are mixed with the biologically compatible material so that the one or more CSA compounds are incorporated within the composition, forming a reservoir of CSA compounds within the resulting bolus of the treatment composition after injection and/or application.

The present invention is concerned with a photosynthetic scaffold that delivers oxygen and its uses for tissue engineering and the treatment of ischemia.

This invention includes malleable, biodegradable, fibrous compositions for application to a tissue site in order to promote or facilitate new tissue growth. One aspect of this invention is a fibrous component that provides unique mechanical and physical properties. The invention may be created by providing a vessel containing a slurry, said slurry comprising a plurality of natural or synthetic polymer fibers and at least one suspension fluid, wherein the polymer fibers are substantially evenly dispersed and randomly oriented throughout the volume of the suspension fluid; applying a force, e.g., centrifugal, to said vessel containing said slurry, whereupon said force serves to cause said polymer fibers to migrate through the suspension fluid and amass at a furthest extent of the vessel, forming a polymer material, with said polymer material comprising polymer fibers of sufficient length and sufficiently viscous, interlaced, or interlocked to retard dissociation of said polymer fibers.

The present invention relates to a hemostatic composition including collagen, a stabilizer, and thrombin, and a container holding this hemostatic composition. The hemostatic composition and the container holding this hemostatic composition can be applied to an urgent bleeding patient by a simple method of use, and the hemostatic composition is less toxic, does not have a problem of blood infection, has a fast rate of biodegradation, has an excellent hemostatic effect, and can be usefully used as a hemostat.

Compositions for enhancing wound healing are disclosed herein. Also disclosed are methods of making the compositions and methods of using the compositions for the prevention of biofilm formation and for the inhibition of pathogen growth and proliferation.
