Piece from the Ontario Centers of Excellence: Rubbing plastic in the wound helps healing

"In North America, millions of chronic wounds require constant care amounting to over $20 billion annually in treatment costs. Toronto-based Rimon Therapeutics Ltd. has developed a “smart” dressing made from advanced medical polymers (plastics) that supports the body’s natural healing process for those suffering from painful diabetic ulcers, bedsores and venous ulcers. Rimon’s MI-Sorb,™ is an easy-to-apply chronic wound dressing that contains the company's revolutionary bioactive materials called Theramers®. “Theramers allow the body to heal without the side effects or costs of conventional drugs,” says Michael May, President of Rimon. The MI-Sorb dressing works by removing the tissue-destroying enzymes in chronic wounds, kick-starting the natural wound healing process."
