Abstract
Provided herein is a particle consisting essentially of micronized ESM and having a mean particle diameter of less than 100 μm for use in promoting the healing of a chronic wound at risk of, or in which there is, (i) an inappropriate level of matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) activity against extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and/or peptide growth or differentiation factors, and/or (ii) an excessive inflammatory response. Further provided are pharmaceutical compositions, wound dressings and implantable medical devices including the micronized ESM-containing particles for use in said treatments. Still further provided are methods for manufacturing the micronized ESM-containing particles and the compositions, dressings and implantable medical devices including the same.
