Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to methods, systems and compositions for making and using porous bioresorbable dressing in various configurations.
- Wound healing may be broadly split into three overlapping basic phases: inflammation, proliferation, and maturation.
- the inflammatory phase is characterized by hemostasis and inflammation.
- the next phase consists mainly of epithelialization, angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation, and collagen deposition.
- the final phase includes maturation and remodeling.
- the complexity of the three step wound healing process is augmented by the influence of local factors such as ischemia, edema, and infection, and systemic factors such as diabetes, age, hypothyroidism, malnutrition, and obesity.
- the rate limiting step of wound healing is often angiogenesis.
- Wound angiogenesis is marked by endothelial cell migration and capillary formation where the sprouting of capillaries into the wound bed is critical to support the regenerating tissue.
- the granulation phase and tissue deposition require nutrients supplied by the capillaries. Impairments in wound angiogenesis therefore may lead to chronic problem wounds.
- angiogenic phenotype is a complex process that requires a number of cellular and molecular events to occur in sequential steps. Some of these activities include endothelial cell proliferation, degradation of surrounding basement membrane, migration of endothelial cells through the connective tissue stroma, formation of tube-like structures, and maturation of endothelial-lined tubes into new blood vessels.
- Angiogenesis is controlled by positive and reduced regulators.
- cells associated with tissue repair such as platelets, monocytes, and macrophages, release angiogenic growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) into injured sites that initiate angiogenesis.
- VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
- Reduced pressure therapy generally refers to application of a pressure less than the ambient pressure at the wound site, where the magnitude and time period of the reduced pressure treatment is sufficient to promote healing.
- devices used to apply reduced pressure include those popularized by Kinetic Concepts, Inc. of San Antonio, Texas, by its commercially available VACUUM ASSISTED CLOSURE® or V.A.C.® product line.
- the reduced pressure induced healing process has been described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,636,643 and 5,645,081, the disclosures of which are incorporated fully by reference.
- the reduced pressure serves to promote the migration of epithelial tissue and subcutaneous tissue from the healthy tissue towards the wound site.
- Typical reduced pressure therapy includes application of reduced pressure to a wound site through a dressing that serves as a manifold to distribute the reduced pressure.
- the dressing is sized to fit the existing wound, placed in contact with the wound, and then periodically replaced with smaller pieces of dressing as the wound begins to heal and becomes smaller. While use of reduced pressure therapy with the dressing has been highly successful, there still exists various difficulties with this process. For example, it may be difficult to obtain a dressing of a proper width, length or depth to properly fit the wound. Further, as the dressing is removed it may also remove healthy tissue, thereby causing further trauma to the wound site.
- biodegradable materials to make the dressing, thereby resulting in a dressing that need not be removed from the wound site.
- biodegradable polymer is formed in advance into a particular shape. Individual wounds, however, are of inconsistent shapes and sizes.
- bioresorbable dressing containing open cell pores where the dressing is designed to readily conform to the size and shape of the wound site.
- the invention produces methods, systems and compositions for making and using porous bioresorbable dressing in various configurations.

- the non-solvent should be one that results in the polymer, plasticizer and the porogen precipitating out of solution.
- the residual non-solvent is removed.
- the resulting precipitant, i.e., dressing is placed in a fluid, whereby the fluid reacts with the porogen in the dressing, creating pores within the dressing.

- the amount of sodium bicarbonate and acid used may be used in stoichiometic amounts. It is also envisioned that the sodium bicarbonate may be used in non stoichiometric amounts. Further, the amount of porogen used should be that which creates sufficient number of open cells or channels so that would fluids may be drained and the reduced pressure may continue unimpaired.
- the solvent is then removed from the resulting dressing (103).

- Wound fluids which may include interstitial liquid in the tissues or liquid that has exuded from the tissue or its capillaries of the wound site, will then react with the porogen system, dissolving the salt particles and thus generating pores within the dressing in situ (206). Further, fluids such as water may be added to the wound site to assist in the porogen system reaction. The resulting spaces left by the dissolved salt result in a dressing with interconnected pores. The size of the resulting pores is dependent upon the size of the salt particles used. As such, one may use methods to control the size of the salt particles. For example, the salt particles may be sieved through one or more screens to produce particles of a certain size. When the salt particle dissolves, the remaining pore is about the size of the salt particle.
- the pore size produced by the dissolved salt may be about 50 to about 500 microns. In another embodiment, the pore size is between about 100 and about 400 microns. In another embodiment, the pore size is between about 100 and about 250 microns. Further, the amount of porogen system used and the particle size of the porogen system will control the percent porosity. It is understood that the percent porosity preferred may depend upon factors such as the mechanical properties of the materials used to make the dressing, the cell infiltration desired, the presence or absence of wound healing or tissue treatment substances trapped within or bound to the dressing, and the like.
- Wound healing or tissue treatment substances may be covalently or non-covalently bound to dressing by, for example, use of a cross linker, inclusion of a specific reactive group on either the solid support or the s or both molecules, electrostatic interactions, hydrophilic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, attachment by use of molecules such as streptavidin, and use of a combination of covalent and non-covalent interactions.
