Antibacterial easy adjustable woven compression bandage for venous leg ulcers

The proposed study aims in first part to discuss the structure and behavior of short-stretch cotton woven compression bandage (WCB), second production properties multifunctional WCB. includes an integrated tension sensor, which causes a change spacing colored threads during its deformation. motivation this research was investigate optimum techniques for therapy using modified construction WCB as tensiometer. aim is focused on industrial product has easy adjustable antibacterial properties. Multifunctional can be produced by two methods, highly twisted warp yarns (ply twist 1800 2200 twist/m) weft will treated with silver Nano-particles (NPs). method post-treatment three concentrations zinc oxide NPs 1–3 % powder form 15 g/L acrylic binder. Silver coated showed comparable activity both tested bacterial strains ( Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus) quantitative qualitative test methods. samples achieved 95–99% bacteria reduction, nanoparticles size distribution were confirmed Zetasizer Nano, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). practical pressure PicoPress significant deviations compared theoretical calculated Laplace’s equation ranges ±0.68 ±15.64% especially at highest extension levels.
