Iran-Made Homeostasis Product Stops Heavy Bleeding Quickly
“The advanced local bleeding stoppers (Nanohem) is an advanced nanocomposite product that stops bleeding quickly and effectively,” said Mandana Asgari, the executive director of the knowledge-based company.
“These products include bone hemostasis, hemostasis bandage, absorbent hemostasis, nasal tampon, dental tampon, and primary and secondary dressings which have been commercialized in cooperation with Faraz accelerator,” she added.
“This product can effectively stop bleeding in macrometric thicknesses and enjoys appropriate biocompatibility and protective features, and it can be applied easily without harming nature while protecting the wound against the microbes and maintaining the moisture of the wound,” Asgari stated.
Noting that biotechnology and nanotechnology have both been used in production of the product, she said, “In fact, the main material of the dressing, which is a peptide piece, was designed by using biotechnology, and nanotechnology has also been used to make nanofibers from the designed peptides. The product’s mechanism of action is based on adhesion to blood components.”
In another development in January, scientists at an Iranian company stationed at the incubator center of the Islamic Azad University’s Yazd branch had also managed to produce a special ‘hydrogel composite wound dressing’ which prevents amputation of organs in diabetic patients.
“The invention of hydrogel composite wound dressing has a code of human ethics and was tested in two specialized wound healing clinics in Yazd province for people with diabetic ulcers, EB (Epidermolysis Bullosa) ulcers, and bedsores and we obtained highly satisfactory results and quick healing in patients,” Mahboubeh Mahmoudi, the head of the board of directors of Aramis Yazd company, told ANA.
She noted that the product enjoys the capability to create moist healing conditions, release curcumin herbal medicine and cytokines and create regenerative growth factors in the wound site to increase the speed of healing.
“The hydrogel composite wound dressing which contains plant nanoparticles has proved effectiveness on increasing the speed of wound healing and treatment of all types of chronic wounds, improving the living conditions of patients with bedsores and preventing amputation of organs in patients with diabetic ulcers,” Mahmoudi said.
