摘要

A method of treating wound healing with a composition containing protease nexin-I (PN-I) is disclosed. Compositions comprised of PN-I uniformly dispersed throughout a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are disclosed as are such compositions further comprising antibiotics. Occlusive wound dressings are taught which are comprised of a support surface having an absorbent area thereon which has PN-I absorbed thereon and which absorbent area is surrounded by a pressure sensitive adhesive strip for adhering the dressing to a surface surrounding the wound to be treated.
