Abstract
The present disclosure provides amine-modified polymer foams, which may be used for wound dressing materials. For example, the modified materials can include a covalently attached molecule comprising free amine groups. Such amine groups can be used, for instance, to conjugate biologically active polypeptides and/or linkers. Methods for using modified polymers are also provided.
Claims22
A wound treatment system comprising a wound treatment apparatus and a wound dressing coupled to the wound treatment apparatus by a conduit, wherein the wound dressing is configured to be coupled to a wound of a patient, and wherein the apparatus comprises a vacuum source configured to apply negative pressure to the wound dressing via the conduit, wherein the wound dressing comprises an amine-functionalized polymer foam and a biologically active agent covalently attached to an amine group on the polymer foam.
