3D animation about the role of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in wound healing. In normal wounds, MMPs degrade damaged tissue and are helpful in wound healing. In chronic wounds, however, the activity of matrix metallo-proteases is increased and healthy tissue is also degraded. By binding excess matrix metalloproteinase in the wound dressing (HydroClean), the balance in the wound is restored.
