Modified wound dressings

a technology for wounds and dressings, applied in the field of wound healing, can solve the problems of reducing the quality of life, requiring a lot of care, and chronic and ‘infected’ wounds are typically difficult to heal, so as to improve the sensitivity, precision and specificity of infected wound detection, and improve the detection speed of infected wounds. the effect of exiting assays

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is the U.S. National Phase entry of International Application No. PCT / US2017 / 024915, filed on Mar. 30, 2017, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 315,567, filed Mar. 30, 2016, each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Embodiments described herein generally relate to wound healing, and in particular to compositions and methods for the detection and treatment of wounds.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] In mammals, dermal injury triggers an organized complex cascade of cellular and biochemical events that result in a healed wound. Wound healing is a complex dynamic process that results in the restoration of anatomic continuity and function: an ideally healed wound is one that has returned to normal anatomic structure, function, and appearance. A typical wound heals via a model consisting of four stages—‘exudative’ phase, proliferative phase, reparati...
