Biosynthetic wound coatings as susbtrates for cell growth

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2008 Jan;145(1):158-63. doi: 10.1007/s10517-008-0024-7.

Abstract

Experimental studies of composite materials formed on the basis of fluorine-containing latex and bioactive polysaccharides showed that physicochemical properties of composite materials and their adhesion characteristics can be modulated by variations of polysaccharide-latex ratio and the nature of polysaccharides. The ratio of components ensuring the formation of biosynthetic films that meet the standards for modern wound coating and maintain adhesion and growth of substrate-dependent mammalian cells was determined. These materials can considerably increase the efficiency of treatment of extensive and deep skin wounds in cases when application of cell cultures is indicated.
