Iranian Nanotechnology Firm Produces Chitosan-Based Sheets, Powder for Chronic Wounds
“Our company is based in Iran and makes its products in the country but also has ISO certifications for exports to Europe,” Qazal Shariatpanahi, a pharmacist and a technician of medical affairs in the knowledge-based Nano Fanavaran Narin Teb company, told ANA on the sidelines of the 14th International Nanotechnology Exhibition in Tehran.
“We have two products; the transparent sheets made of chitosan named ‘Nano Ex’ and also the wound powder dressing based on chitosan named ‘Nano Expo’. Both are mainly used in chronic and acute wounds such as burns stage one and two and diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, traumatic and donor site wounds,” she noted.
“The advantage of our products compared to other products available in the market is that chitosan is a polymer with antibacterial features and high absorbency and it does not contain silver compared to other products and it does not exhibit any side effects,” Shariatpanahi said.
The 14th International Nano Exhibition kicked off in Tehran on November 4 in the presence of companies activist in the nanotechnology field.
As the biggest nano event in Iran, the exhibition is an opportunity to get to know about the latest achievements and developments in the field of nanotechnology.
