Smart Wound Healing Bandages

History

2022: In Russia, created smart bandages for healing wounds. They are 4 times more effective than analogues

In April 2022, it became known about the creation in Russia of smart bandages for quick wound healing. We are talking about universal long-acting wound healing coatings based on biopolymers developed at Dubna State University.

According to the developers, their technology provides a smart response and releases the desired substance depending on the origin and condition of the wound. During testing, it showed greater efficiency compared to available analogues by 2.5-4 times. Another important advantage was the possibility of producing a new coating from Russian raw materials, RIA Novosti reported with reference to the press service of the university.

In April 2022, it became known about the creation in Russia of smart bandages for quick wound healing.

According to Professor, Director of the Physchimbiopharm NOC of Dubna State University Raisa Gorshkova, the materials contain multilayer micro- and nanocapsules. They release an active substance depending on the origin, condition and phase of the wound healing.

To produce the composition, experts have developed the technology of oligo- and polysaccharides of the pectin series. They have their own biological activity. According to scientists, external use has a wound healing effect on all phases of the wound process. When applied to the wound, a strong film is formed that prevents the penetration of pathogens into the wound, but leaves access to oxygen. The development is based entirely on domestic raw materials.

According to Dubna State University, new drugs do not require daily application and do not cause painful sensations in patients, while their shortcomings were eliminated due to the protective action of biopolymers developed by an industrial partner.^[1]
