  • Title: Investigation of a biodegradable, implantable antibiotic delivery system on rate of wound infection.
    Author: Sasmor MT, Morain WD, Balestrero LM, Camp BJ.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 1993 Jun; 30(6):525-30. PubMed ID: 8368780.
    Abstract:
    Biodel, a bioabsorbable polymer, may be adapted to serve as an antibiotic delivery system for high local concentrations of drugs. In an autocontaminated, irradiated wound model with a high intrinsic infection rate, implanted gentamicin-impregnated Biodel beads prevented wound infections in the submental area of rats.
