Abstract
Devices and methods for enhancing the healing of wounds, especially chronic wounds (e.g., diabetic wounds), involving the use of keratinocytes are described. Keratinocytes are grown on a transplantable solid support (e.g., collagen-coated beads), and the keratinocyte-coated solid support is placed in an enclosure. The enclosure, in turn, is placed in the wound for use as an interactive wound healing promoter.
