New wound dressing that can degrade itself after healing

Release date: 2009-12-18



A new wound healing treatment can carry antibiotics to eliminate pathogenic bacteria, help accelerate wound healing, and degrade itself after wound healing.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel have developed a new type of antibiotic-coated composite fiber, which is made up of an absorbable surgical suture raw material polygluconate, porous polylactic acid and glycolic acid shell, and then loaded with drugs. The wound healing protects the wound by mimicking the natural way of the skin and combines the mechanical and physical properties required for the release of the antibiotic. Therefore, when the dressing is placed on the wound, the local concentration of the antibiotic is relatively high, avoiding any toxic side effects. Biomaterialia, released in October 2009, introduces this new dressing.

“We have developed the first dressing that releases antibiotics and is biodegradable,” said Dr. Metal Zilberman, biomedical engineering department. “It can not only address the mechanical and physical limitations of current wound treatment, but also Provides a more effective platform for doctors to treat burns and acne."
