Antimicrobial Dressings: The Wound Care Applications

Antimicrobial Dressings: The Wound Care Applications demonstrates the literature about the catalytic behavior of proteolytic enzymes immobilized together with nanoparticles. Numerous applications using proteolytic enzymes for debridement, silver as antibiotic and nanoparticles for enzyme immobilization were developed in the last years. However, the interdisciplinary information combining nanotechnology, biotechnology and medicine is still in its early stages. Antimicrobial Dressings: The Wound Care Applications adopts a holistic approach in a life cycle context to evaluate their final feasibility including industrial exploitability without disregard the potential risks of enzymes and nanomaterials to human health and the environment.
