A novel biomaterial based on salmon-gelatin and its in vivo evaluation as sterile wound-dressing

A novel porous biomaterial based on salmon-gelatin and excipients was developed. The biomaterial was sterilized using gamma radiation. Mechanical and structural properties were studied. The biomaterial was used as wound-dressing in an animal model for four weeks. The in vivo results show biosafety of the biomaterial and high potential for clinical application in patients with tissue regeneration requirements. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
