Semitransparent bandages based on chitosan and extracellular matrix for photochemical tissue bonding

Table 2 Attenuation length summary

n = 10	Dry rose adhesive	Wet rose adhesive	Dry bandage	Wet bandage	SIS
Attenuation length (μm)	23 ± 1	86 ± 9*	68 ± 8	106 ± 11^♦	33 ± 3
Thickness (µm)	11 ± 1	24 ± 2	116 ± 15	133 ± 17	44 ± 5

All values are given as mean ± standard deviation (n = 10); the suffixes indicates statistical difference between dry and wet samples (two-tails paired t test, *p = 1.48E−9, ^♦p = 8.40E−6). The optical density of OFMs alone or impregnated with rose bengal solutions could not be measured because of their opacity
