POROUS KERATIN CONSTRUCT AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a porous keratin construct material comprising k eratin protein for use in wound healing applications. The porous keratin con struct is capable of bio-absorbing into a wound to promote wound healing. Th e rate at which the construct bio-absorbs into the wound may be controlled a ltered by controlling the degree of disulfide cross-linking between the kera tin proteins in the porous keratin construct. The invention is also related to a method of making the porous keratin construct.
