Iranian Researchers Unveil Smart Dressings, Advanced Cell Sheets
“Our main activity is focused on the development and production of advanced silicone-based dressings for scar management and open wound treatment,” the company’s R&D director told ANA on the sidelines of the 16th International Nanotechnology Exhibition in Tehran.
“Our basic product is a silicone dressing. Using nanotechnology, we have upgraded this basic dressing to a smart product. In this version, exosome-based nanoparticles have been used as smart drug nanocarriers. This innovation allows the dressing to be used in a targeted manner to treat deep open wounds, chronic wounds, and specially diabetic wounds, which are one of the greatest medical challenges today," she added.
Noting that the experiments on the product were conducted in two laboratory and animal phases on mouse and rabbit models, the researcher said, “The results have proven that our smart dressing is capable of completing healing process of deep wounds within a period of 12 to 14 weeks.”
“The second product is an advanced cell culture medium that responds to environmental stimuli, and helps the production of completely healthy and undamaged cell sheets for transplantation and repair of tissues like the heart, cornea, and esophagus,” she said.
The 16th International Nano Technology Exhibition and the First Exhibition of Advanced Technologies of Iran was inaugurated at the Tehran International Fairground.
Held from November 2 to 5, the Nano Exhibition featured over 150 innovative companies showcasing advancements in nanotechnology. Meanwhile, the Exhibition of Advanced Technologies hosted 80 knowledge-based and technological products, attracting visitors, particularly students, researchers, and investors.
