- Abstract
Many commercially available wound products focus on improving one stage of the wound healing cascade. While this targeted approach works for specific wounds, there is a need for products that can reliably and comprehensively progress a wound through multiple stages. This preliminary in vitro study was performed to directly compare the inflammatory reduction and growth factor production effects of three commercially available wound care products: a collagen sheet (COL), a Manuka Honey Calcium Alginate sheet (MH), and a novel bioengineered sheet comprised of a collagen derivative (gelatin), Manuka honey, and hydroxyapatite (BCMH). Macrophages and human dermal fibroblasts were directly seeded on all three commercial products, and supernatants were analyzed for inflammatory markers and growth factors, respectively. Comparing the MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio, BCMH resulted in 11× lower levels of this inflammation biomarker compared to COL, and 3× lower levels compared to MH. Both the COL and BCMH products created an environment conducive to expression and release of relevant growth factors, while the MH product showed the lowest levels of growth factor expression of all three commercially available products tested. The favorable 11× lower MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio observed with the BCMH product compared to the COL product suggests that the BCMH products provided a superior comprehensive approach to healthy progression of the wounds by providing an additional benefit of reducing the inflammatory response in vitro.
