Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Produces Nanofibrous Transparent Bandages for Wound Care
A knowledge-based firm in Iran operating in the field of producing advanced nano-fiber dressings has managed to make new wound care products, especially for diabetic wounds, burns, and pressure ulcers.
In an interview with Iranian media, Adele Qolipour Kanaani, the managing director of that knowledge-based firm said that producing advanced nanofibrous dressings for all types of skin wounds called "Tadapan" is one of the products of their company.
“This knowledge-based product is used in the treatment care of all types of open skin wounds, especially for the healing of diabetic wounds. This advanced dressing is a layer composed of nanofibers that becomes transparent as soon as it comes into contact with the wet surface of the wound and allows monitoring the treatment process,” she said.
Saying that their nanofibrous dressings are produced using biocompatible polymers with excellent biological properties without the use of toxic solvents, the managing director of the knowledge-based firm added, “This product is made with the most up-to-date technology of nano-fiber layers, which, due to its special formulation and advanced production process, simulates a structure similar to the natural structure of the extracellular matrix of the body's skin. The similarity of the fibrous structure of this dressing with the natural skin of the body, along with the three-dimensional, porous and breathable structure, has created a special structure that has significantly accelerated the healing process of different types of wounds.”
“Diabetic wounds that usually take more than 40 days to heal, using this dressing, the wound shifts from an infected condition to a normal body tissue condition within 10 days,” she explained.
According to her, one of the other advantages of the knowledge-based product is to leave the least scars after healing.
“In addition to the biological properties of polymers in its nanofiber structure, this dressing improves the transferring process of biomolecules needed for healing to the wound site and improves blood supply in the treatment area,” Qolipour Kanaani added.
According to the researcher, the knowledge-based product covers the open end of the nerve in contact with the surface of the wound and reduces the pain in the area. At the same time, due to its inherent antimicrobial properties, it prevents the occurrence of infection during the treatment process, and due to its special structure, it acts as a protective layer against penetration. It works against bacteria and other microorganisms.
She went on to say that because their dressing has a transparent texture it allows monitoring the healing process of the wound without needing to remove it. She further noted that it can also be used for semi-deep wounds with moderate drainage.
“Moreover, there is also the possibility of loading medicinal substances on this dressing,” Qolipour Kanaani concluded.
