Flexible Ultrasonic Patch for Accelerating Chronic Wound Healing (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 19/2021)

Polymeric Sustained Biodegradable Patch Formulation for Wound Healing

It is the patient compliance and stability in combination with controlled drug delivery and biocompatibility that forms the core feature in present research and development of sustained biodegradable patch formulation intended for wound healing. The aim was to impart sustained degradation, sterile formulation, significant folding endurance, elasticity, biodegradability, bio-acceptability and st...

Engineered Biopolymeric Scaffolds for Chronic Wound Healing

Skin regeneration requires the coordinated integration of concomitant biological and molecular events in the extracellular wound environment during overlapping phases of inflammation, proliferation, and matrix remodeling. This process is highly efficient during normal wound healing. However, chronic wounds fail to progress through the ordered and reparative wound healing process and are unable ...

Small Intestinal Submucosa Wound Matrix for Chronic Wound Healing.

Chronic wounds represent a state where healing has stagnated. Venous, diabetic, and pressure ulcers are typically difficult to heal and are at high risk of becoming chronic. In an attempt to restart the healing of chronic wounds, many biologically important molecules, such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and growth factors have been used to treat these wounds with varying degrees of success. Unti...

Electrochemically Modulated Nitric Oxide Release From Flexible Silicone Rubber Patch: Antimicrobial Activity For Potential Wound Healing Applications

Herein, we report a novel design and the antimicrobial efficacy of a flexible nitric oxide (NO) releasing patch for potential wound healing applications. The compact sized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) planar patch generates NO via electrochemical reduction of nitrite ions mediated by a copper(II)-ligand catalyst using a portable power system and an internal gold coated stainless steel mesh worki...

Wound care: Patch could improve healing and reduce scarring
