PCMP for Complex Wounds: Protective
Barrier for Managing Bioburden in a
Complex Wound Model

Abstract
Background: Complex wounds with high bioburden present significant clinical challenges. This study evaluated a novel Protective Cellular Matrix Product (PCMP) as a barrier against bacterial colonization in a complex wound model. Methods: Full-thickness wounds were created in porcine subjects and inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus. Results: PCMP-treated wounds demonstrated 73% reduction in bacterial load compared to controls (p<0.01). Wound closure rates were significantly improved, with 89% epithelialization at day 14 versus 62% in control groups.
