Wound healing is a native process of regenerating dermal and epidermal tissues. When an individual is wounded, a set of complex biochemical actions take place in a closely orchestrated cascade to repair the damage. wound dressing material should provide a physical barrier to a wound, but be permeable to moisture and oxygen. Electrospun nanofiber mat is a good wound dressing candidate because of its unique properties.
    Benefits
  • The highly porous mat structure and well interconnected pores are particularly important for exuding fluid from the wound
  • The small pores and very high specific surface area not only inhibit the exogenous microorganism invasions, but also assist the control of fluid drainage
  • The electrospinning process provides a simple way to add drugs into the nanofibers for any possible medical treatment and antibacterial purposes.
  • Adding antibacterial additives, antimicrobial nanofibers can also be prepared by directly using antimicrobial polymers. For instance, polyurethanes containing quaternary ammonium groups were electrospun into nanofiber nonwovens, and the nanofibers showed very strong antimicrobial activities.
    Typical Applications:
  • Sutures
  • Multifunctional dressings
  • Dermal substitutes
  • Engineered epidermis
  • Full-thickness skin regeneration
  • Bedsore – Burns wound – Diabetic wound
