Fiber-optic protease sensor based on the degradation of thin gelatin films

Despite increasing interest in situ monitoring of proteolytic activity in chronic wound is not possible and information can only be obtained by sampling wound exudate. In this context, we developed an evanescent wave (EW) fiber-optic sensor to quantify protease activity directly in the wound bed. De...
