Unraveling the Potential of Antimicrobial Dressings in Wound Care

Written by Raju Khan and Sorna Gowri, “Antimicrobial Dressings: The Wound Care Applications” delves into the fascinating realm of proteolytic enzymes immobilized with nanoparticles, exploring their catalytic behavior and its implications on wound care.

With the advent of innovative applications harnessing proteolytic enzymes for debridement, silver as an antibiotic, and nanoparticles for enzyme immobilization, this book bridges the gap between nanotechnology, biotechnology, and medicine. While these interdisciplinary advancements are still in their infancy, the authors adopt a holistic approach to evaluate the feasibility of these technologies in a lifecycle context.

This comprehensive book examines the industrial exploitability of antimicrobial dressings, while also acknowledging the potential risks they pose to human health and the environment. By doing so, it provides a thorough understanding of the complex relationships between enzymes, nanomaterials, and their applications in wound care.
