Abstract

A bandage for treatment of wounds having living fly larvae that produces a secretion and a sealed pouch including the living fly larvae. The sealed pouch completely encloses the fly larvae and prevents the fly larvae from touching the wound. The sealed the pouch is made of a fine-mesh net having a pore size that allows the passing of secretions produced by the fly larvae to reach the wound but prevents passage of the fly larvae enclosed in the pouch.
