ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for breeding of insects for therapeutic application of secretions of fly larvae (maggots) on a wound. The device includes an application container for receiving the fly eggs. The fly larvae from the egg stage up to the maggot stage is develop inside the application container and the maggots are grown until they secrete a therapeutically active secretion. The application container is maintain under development conditions influenced in a controlled manner which retard the further development of the eggs for storage. The application container includes fluid transmissive walls that allow the passing of secretions produced by the maggot through the walls of the application container into the wound but prevents passage of the maggots enclosed in the application container. In addition, the device of the present invention includes an incubation container to maintain the eggs in controlled incubating conditions. The conditions for retarding the further development of the eggs includes at least one of cooling, dehumidification, evacuation, an inert gas atmosphere, and chemical or biochemical retardants, individually or in combination.
