A biodegradable antibiotic-impregnated scaffold to prevent osteomyelitis in a contaminated in vivo bone defect model (2014)
Journal Article
McLaren, J. S., White, L., Cox, H., Ashraf, W., Rahman, C., Blunn, G., …Scammell, B. E. (2014). A biodegradable antibiotic-impregnated scaffold to prevent osteomyelitis in a contaminated in vivo bone defect model. eCells and Materials Journal, 27, 332-349. https://doi.org/10.22203/eCM.v027a24Open fractures are at risk of serious infection and, if infected, require several surgical interventions and courses of systemic antibiotics. We investigated a new injectable formulation that simultaneously hardens in vivo to form a porous scaffold f...
