The mixture is applied to an absorbent surface that is designed to absorb the mixed polysaccharide only partially.
Description
WOUND DRESSING CONTAINING POLYSACCHARIDE AND COLLAGEN
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the formation of a complex wound dressing consisting of a polysaccharide, such as Manuka honey, in combination with collagen in order to suppress the efficacy of harmful enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases ("MMPs") that are present in chronic wounds.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The use of polysaccharides or sugars in liquid form, such as honey, is known to be effective as a dressing for wounds, burns and skin ulcers. Benefits include that inflammation, swelling and pain are quickly reduced, that sloughing of necrotic tissue occurs without the need for additional debridement, and that growth of tissues to repair the wound is stimulated. As a consequence, healing occurs rapidly with minimal scarring, and often without any necessity for skin grafting.
[0003] In addition to the use of polysaccharides in wound treatment, it is known that
MMPs, which are part of the larger family of metalloproteinase enzymes, play an important part in wound healing. Although MMPs have the important role of breaking down proteins so that new tissue forms, when MMPs are present in a wound bed at too high a level, for too long a time, and in the wrong places, they begin to degrade proteins that are not their normal substrates. This can result in the unwanted destruction of beneficial proteins, such as growth factors, receptors and ECM proteins, that are essential for healing, and so ultimately impair healing. Substantial evidence has amassed that MMPs in general are highly elevated in wounds with delayed healing compared to acute healing wounds as discussed, for example, in Wounds International, "MMPs Made Easy" (Vol. 1, Issue 1, Nov. 2009), which is
incorporated herein by reference. The potentially damaging effects of these high levels is compounded by the fact that tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases ("TIMPs") levels in chronic wounds are generally slightly lower than in acute wounds.
[0004] Collagen dressings are used to suppress MMP levels, but scientific literature and opinion shows that such advanced dressings cannot be used until wounds are cleansed of necrotic tissue. The most preferred methods of cleansing of necrotic tissue are often surgery, curettage or sharp debridement. However, it may not always be possible to use one of these methods on patients who are not suitable candidates for such fast and immediate debridement. Collagenase enzyme, a MMP, is itself sometimes used to promote debridement, which, of course, cannot be mixed with a collagen dressing because the collagen dressing will engage the MMP, collagenase, which is being inserted into the wound for debridement.
[0005] Given that collagen promotes wound healing, it would be advantageous to the patient to be able to make use of and benefit from a collagen dressing during the weeks that are usually required for non-sharp debridement. Accordingly, it would be beneficial if some means were to be found provide non-sharp debridement while at the same time applying collagen to the wound.
[0006] U.S. Patent No. RE42,755 to Molan describes a wound dressing incorporating a honey composition that is at least 50% honey and mixed with a gelling agent to render it formable, pliable, flexible and moldable. Molan does not mention the MMP suppression effect of honey, nor does it suggest that the MMP suppression activity of honey may be synergistically augmented via the introduction of variable quantities of collagen.
[0007] U.S. Patent Nos. 4,844,898 to Komori, 3,767,784 to Gluck, and 4,401,651 to
Knutson also discuss polysaccharide compositions for use with wound dressings. Each of these references fails to recognize that the efficacy of polysaccharides is driven by the
exertion of osmotic pressure. This osmotic pressure effect causes wound exudates to flood in from deep within tissue into the wound site, dissolving necrotic tissue and cleansing the wound. In addition, these patents were written prior to the introduction of the concept that MMPs are responsible for wound chronicity, and they do not mention collagen as a compositional additive to honey or any other polysaccharide.
[0008] Accordingly, a need exists for a composition that provides non-sharp debridement while also controlling the level of MMPs present in the wound.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0009] In order to address the shortcomings of the prior art and in accordance with the present invention, a technology is described that provides non-sharp debridement of a wound while also controlling the level of MMPs present in the wound. Such debridement can be accomplished by the use of honey as a part of a wound healing package. Honey debrides via osmotic pressure, and its acidity that is well known tends to denature, at least temporarily, MMPs that lead to wound chronicity. At the same time, the inventors have found honey to be compatible with collagen dressings, in fact, it is synergistic with honey in the sense that collagen massively suppresses MMP activity.
[0010] Embodiments of the invention include a dressing for application to a wound that includes a wound contacting layer for contacting the wound surface. The wound contacting layer may comprise a mixture of a polysaccharide and an MMP suppressing material. In embodiments of the invention, the polysaccharide is honey, and the MMP suppressing material may be collagen. The collagen may be powdered collagen, a collagen gel or other form of collagen.
[0011] The polysaccharide mixture may include additional materials. For example, it is well known that the ability of the sugar to debride and loosen necrotic tissue in the wound
is driven by the effect of the exertion of osmotic pressure. This osmotic pressure is directly related to the concentration of sugars at the wound surface. Thus it would be beneficial increase the concentration of sugar that comes into contact with the wound. Accordingly, it may be advantageous to combine cane sugar or other sugars with the honey and collagen mixture. This has the additional advantage of addressing usability issues of both honey and cane sugar. Pure honey may flow too fast and, if applied to a wound, is more likely to spill out of it, than stay in it, and this effect is only minimally improved upon via the use of a secondary dressing such as gauze. Likewise, pure crystalline or powder sugar has usability issue. For example, powdered sugar is messy in terms of application in a wound and a secondary bandage is most certainly needed. Accordingly, it would be beneficial if some means were to be found to attach or adhere cane sugar to a secondary dressing but without the use of sugar diluting adhesives or any non-sugar matter.
[0012] To address the usability issues of honey, it may also be advantageous to include other thickening or gelling components. In addition, in may be advantageous to include other materials have tissue health promoting properties. These additional materials may include materials having antibiotic effects, such as silver or silver compounds.

Example 10: honey 45%, cane sugar 10%, collagen 45%;
Example 11 : honey 30%, cane sugar 35%, collagen 35%;
Example 12: honey 98%, collagen 1%, other materials having tissue health enhancing properties 1%;
Example 13: honey 45%, collagen 5%, materials affecting the viscosity or tackiness of the composition 50%;
Example 14: honey 45%, collagen 5%, other materials having tissue health enhancing properties 5%, materials affecting the viscosity or tackiness of the composition 45%.
These examples are illustrative, and it will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the invention includes compositions having different ratios of the listed materials or including additional materials not listed.
[0027] Alternatively, the wound contacting layer 30 may comprise two or more layers of having different compositions. For example, the wound contacting layer may have a first layer adjacent to the wound surface that contains only honey and cane sugar in order to stimulate debridement of the wound. The wound contacting layer may then include a second layer that contains honey, cane sugar and collagen, such that the layer including collagen, which provides for additional suppression of MMPs is exposed to the wound only after the first layer has dissolved.
[0028] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the dressing 10 may also include a film layer 40.
The film layer may comprise a polymer film, paper, a woven or non-woven fabric, or the like.
The film layer may also include through apertures that allow fluid from the wound to pass through the film layer. The wound contacting 30 may be extruded onto, adhered to, laminated to, or encapsulate the film layer 40.
[0029] The dressing may also include an absorbent layer 50. The absorbent layer may be composed of polyurethane foam, cellulose fiber or another appropriate absorbent material. The absorbent layer 50 may be adhered or laminated to the film layer 40.
Alternatively, the film layer 40 may be dispensed with, and the wound contacting layer 30 may be applied directly to the absorbent layer. Whether the wound contacting layer 30 is applied to a film layer 40 or directly an absorbent layer 50, the substrate is chosen so that it does not allow easy immediate ingress of the entire wound contacting composition into the substrate.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 1, the dressing may also include a cover layer 60. The cover layer may polymer film such as a polyurethane film. Alternatively the cover layer may be a woven or non-woven fabric or another appropriate covering material. The cover material may be fluid impervious in order to contain fluid absorbed by the dressing from the wound. The cover material may also be a breathable material.
[0031] FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the various layers as being coterminous. However, the layers may extend past one another. For example, the cover layer 60 shown in FIG. 1 may extend beyond the periphery of the wound contacting layer 30. A skin facing surface of the cover layer may be adhesive such that the cover layer serves to adhere to dressing to the patient's skin surrounding the wound.
