A low-cost biopolymer dressing to help heal chronic wounds
Tens of millions of patients around the world suffer from persistent and potentially life-threatening wounds. These chronic wounds, which are also a leading cause of amputation, have treatments, but the cost of existing wound dressings can prevent them from reaching people in need.
Now, a Michigan State University researcher is leading an international team of scientists to develop a low-cost, practical biopolymer dressing that helps heal these wounds.
The existing efficient technologies are far too expensive for most health care systems, greatly limiting their use in a timely manner. An economically accessible, practical and effective technology is needed.
