Iran-Made Powder, Hydrogel Dressings Heal Diabetic Patients’ Wounds
“Powder wound dressings are used for deep wounds, vascular, diabetes wounds and burns, and hydrogel dressings are used for dry wounds,” Maryam Zare’, a technical expert of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“These two products are now in the clinical phase,” she added.
“Also, the MTT substance, which is used to measure cell toxicity, was previously imported, but now this product has been indigenized and made by our company and presented to the market. MTT is a substance that is used as a diagnostic kit for research in clinical medicine,” Zare’ said, adding that at present the company also produces diagnosis kits in addition to polymer materials.
“These kits are used for protein measurement and as a colorimetric agent, and they are like markers, and all diagnostic laboratories need it to detect cancer from antibodies,” she explained.
In a relevant 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.
