The present disclosure provides synthetic collagen and methods of making and using synthetic collagen that include a synthetic collagen that facilitates wound closure comprising an isolated and purified triple helical backbone protein that facilitates wound closure comprising one or more alteration in a triple helical backbone protein sequence, that stabilize the isolated and purified triple helical backbone protein and does not disrupt an additional collagen ligand interaction; and one or more integrin binding motifs, wherein the isolated and purified triple helical backbone protein facilitates wound closure.

The present disclosure provides silicone-based biophotonic compositions and methods useful in phototherapy. In particular, the silicone-based biophotonic compositions of the present disclosure include a silicone phase and a surfactant phase, wherein the surfactant phase comprises at least one chromophore solubilized in a surfactant. The silicone-based biophotonic compositions and the methods of the present disclosure are useful for promoting wound healing and scarring, as well as various other skin disorders.

A composition has an enzyme that is able to convert a substrate to release hydrogen peroxide; a substrate for the enzyme; and a superabsorbent component, such as a superabsorbent polymer. The composition is in the form of a powder and may form a gel on contact with water.

An article and a method of making the article. The article can include a conformable matrix comprising a mixture of collagen, bioactive glass, and an additive selected from cellulose and/or alginate; wherein the article is a conformable wound dressing. Methods of making articles and methods of using articles to treat wounds are described.

Embodiments of the present invention encompass anti-adhesion wound dressings including patches made from amnion tissue obtained from human birth tissue. Exemplary amnion patches can be fabricated by folding a section of amnion over on itself with the epithelial layer on the outside of the folded patch and the fibroblast layer on the inside of the folded patch. Optionally, individual amnion tissue pieces can be sandwiched together to provide a multi-layer patch. Sufficient pressure is applied to the layered amnion to cause adherence between opposing faces of the fibroblast layers. The pressed fibroblast layers provide mechanical strength to hold the amnion patch together with the epithelial layers on the outsides of the amnion patch.
