Wound healing dressings are prepared by flocculating fibronectin, a biologically active fragment or an analog thereof to produce a water-swellable gel. The gels, in the form of sheets, strips, wedges, strands or I-shaped cross-sections, are especially useful in promoting the healing of corneal, scleral dermal, incisional wounds or lesions. They can be used to enhance the results obtained in keratorefractive surgeries and the healing scleral incision for intraocular surgery. |
