Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Produces Polymeric Materials for Anticancer Drugs
“We obtain raw materials from petrochemicals, plant and animal resources and perform a series of chemical processes and reactions on them and turn them into materials with high added value,” Hamed Da’emi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, the founder of Pouneh accelerator and a member of Royan Research Institute, told ANA.
“The second field of activity of the knowledge-based company is production of tiny molecule materials, the most important of which are the drugs that we use daily,” he added.
“The third field of our activity is related to manufacturing advanced polymer dressings with the aim of treating wounds like diabetic wounds and burns,” Da’emi said.
In relevant remarks in July, Da’emi had told ANA that Iranian researchers at Royan Research Institute succeeded in production of a polymer dressing which can be used to treat diabetic wounds.
“In addition to the treatment of diabetic wounds, the new dressings have an effective role on bedsores or pressure and cavity wounds,” he said.
The scientist underlined that the dressing can be used for treatment of different types of wounds, and said, “A special dressing exists for burns and vascular wounds, each based on specific conditions, but no dressings have yet been produced for these types of wounds in Iran, and now we have produced it for the first time in the country.”
Da’emi noted that the effectiveness of the dressing has been tested on several patients and it will enter the clinical trial phase in the future, adding that doctors have confirmed that the quality of this dressing is equal to foreign products.
