Sylke is the first wound closure and dressing made of pure hypoallergenic silk fibroin, an emerging biomaterial studied to enhance wound healing and reduce bacterial growth. “SYLKE aims to revolutionize surgical wound care by eliminating medical adhesive-related skin injuries that lead to complications such as surgical site infections and poor scarring outcomes. Promoting complication free wound healing allows for the epidermal barrier to regenerate faster and serves as a natural method of preventing infections. We see a benefit to millions of patients and aim to decrease the financial burden on the health care system by bringing SYLKE to market,” says M. Mark Mofid, MD, FACS, an assistant professor of plastic surgery at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and inventor of SYLKE.
