100 times reduction of bacterial load in deep infected wounds

Amferia collaborated on an in-vivo infection model study with Chalmers University and the Department of Biomaterials at Sahlgrenska University. 

The study results, published in ACS Biomaterials Science, describe a wound model in mice heavily infected with bacteria. The results demonstrated 100 times reduction of bacterial load in the wounds treated with the amphiphilic antimicrobial hydrogel.  

This is especially impressive, given that the wound was deep and the bacterial load was extremely high. The results demonstrated the strong effect the hydrogel had on bacterial removal, from the wound in a statistically significant manner, without releasing any substances into the body.
