Sodium Mercaptoethane Sulfonate Reduces Collagenolytic Degradation and Synergistically Enhances Antimicrobial Durability in an Antibiotic-Loaded Biopolymer Film for Prevention of Surgical-Site Infections

<div><i>Durability of M/R and M/R + MeSNA film exposed to 1 ug/mL collagenase</i>: M/R and M/R + MeSNA films (1.5 × 3 cm) were incubated at 37°C in either saline or saline + 1 ug/mL collagenase. Weights were recorded periodically to assess whether MeSNA inhibited collagenolytic activity.</div>
