PURPOSE Adequate hemostasis is important for postoperative outcomes of abdominal surgery. This study evaluated the hemostatic effects and accompanying histopathological changes of a novel oxidized regenerated cellulose, SurgiGuard®, during abdominal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten pigs underwent wedge resection of the spleen (1×1 cm) and liver (1.5×1.5 cm). The resected surface was covered...

Bacterial cellulose is a strong, highly pure form of cellulose that is used in a range of applications in industry, consumer goods and medicine. Gluconacetobacter hansenii ATCC 53582 is one of the highest reported bacterial cellulose producing strains and has been used as a model organism in numerous studies of bacterial cellulose production and studies aiming to increased cellulose productivit...

Raman and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used for assessment of structural differences of celluloses of various origins. Investigated celluloses were: bacterial celluloses cultured in presence of pectin and/or xyloglucan, as well as commercial celluloses and cellulose extracted from apple parenchyma. FT-IR spectra were used to estimate of the I(β) content, whereas Raman spe...

OBJECTIVE Healthcare systems are being challenged to manage increasing numbers of nonhealing wounds. Wound dressings are one of the first lines of defense in wound management, and numerous options exist. The oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC)/collagen dressing may offer healthcare providers a robust and cost-effective tool for use in a variety of wounds. DESIGN A multidisciplinary panel mee...

Nowadays, non-degradable plastic packaging materials have created significant disposal and pollution issues threatening human health development. The utilization of biodegradable can help address the issue. Cellulose is abundant renewable, cellulose-based been regarded as an alternative to petroleum-based food packaging. With development cellulose solvents, various regenerated films hydrogels f...

Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) have been applied in various applications due to the abundant raw materials and excellent mechanical thermal properties. In this work, CNF from Cigarette butts (CNF-CB) was used as emulsion stabilized for oil water emulsion. prepared regenerated cellulose fibers that were produced by deacetylation of waste using autoclave then hydrolysis chemical treatment sulfuric ac...
