In the study of " Novel soy protein wound dressings with controlled antibiotic release: Mechanical and physical properties." by Peles Z, Zilberman M. (Source from Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel.), posted in
US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers found that
Appropriate selection of the process parameters yielded SPI wound dressings with the desired mechanical and physical properties and drug release behavior to protect against bacterial infection. These unique structures are thus potentially useful as burn and ulcer dressings.
