plugging the hole

Hi All

You will probably need a rainy day or not much to do when you start going through this. The opening and closing (future prospects)commments sum up the situation pretty well. There are some paragraphs that show how CZDs Polymers will be able to plug a few holes and the scope of applications.

"Materials for such a matrix could be naturally occurring substances such as collagen or could be prepared from biodegradable polymers. Resorption, along with adequate cell adhesion onto the matrix surface, gives the biological materials an attractive potential in tissue regeneration."

Further and not as long a read is this that describes the various skin substitutes available atm. All matrixs` are derived from animal or human tissue and have issues. The potential for Polynovo is the synthetic and benign biocompatability of the polymer for treating various requirements.

The results of the dressing trial and what has been published on the BTM trial suggests many more holes will be plugged by Polynovo.

Seems like a bargain at these prices
