METHODS OF TREATING CHRONIC WOUNDS WITH AMNIOTIC FLUID HAVING ELEVATED LEVELS OF TISSUE INHIBITORS OF MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASES

Methods for treating chronic wounds with an amniotic fluid having a therapeutically effective amount of tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are described. The amniotic fluid can be obtained from a female donor during a period of gestation when the concentration of endogenous TIMPs...

More Information
Summary:Methods for treating chronic wounds with an amniotic fluid having a therapeutically effective amount of tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are described. The amniotic fluid can be obtained from a female donor during a period of gestation when the concentration of endogenous TIMPs are at or near their maximum level. The methods described herein are particularly useful for promoting wound healing in chronic wounds having elevated protease activity, such as increased amounts or specific activity of matrix metalloproteinases.
