  1. Silk Fibroin Wound Dressings Used for Regenerative Healing Therapies Sierra Obi April 1, 2013

  2. Cutaneous Wounds • Include severe burns, animal bites, skin tears • There are numerous wound dressing biomaterials on the market today • Tested against an air permeable and a commercial wound dressing product

  3. Silk Fibroin • Promising biomaterial • Versatile for various biomedical healing applications • Mechanical robustness • Controllable degradability • Safe in acute dermal toxicity

  4. How They Work • Silk Fibroin derivative is tested on a full thickness skin wound model or an in vitro human skin model • controlled release of signaling molecules • Addition of in vivo epidermal growth factor and silver sulfadiazine

  5. Wound Healing Model

  6. Relationship of Wound Size
