Iran-Made Product Helps Fast Dressing of Open Abdominal Wounds
Mina Lakian Marnani, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, described the creation of secretions and exudates and swelling in the abdominal area one of the problems that surgeons face in open abdominal wounds in the operating room, and said, “These wounds cause problems when suturing the fascia and skin of the abdomen.”
“Our solution is to use this dressing to ease the closure of the abdomen and reduce the duration of the treatment to a third of the usual time. This kit is produced and offered only in KCI company in the US and our Teb Tajhiz Paya company in Iran,” she added.
“This kit includes a thin oval foam piece inside a large oval foam piece, the size of which is selected based on the size of the patient's abdomen, a large size prolene mesh, a single tube pressure leveling pad, three size 30x40cm patches and a ruler,” Lakian Marnani said.
In a relevant development in March, specialists of a knowledge-based company in Iran had also succeeded in producing a collagen-based dressing which speeds up healing of patients' wounds.
“The advanced Tabaderm collagen matrix dressing with a structure similar to human skin, by means of biopolymers used in the structure of the dressing like collagen and moisture management, accelerates the wound healing process,” Mahmoud Qafqazi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
“The use of biodegradable and biocompatible natural polymers similar to the extracellular matrix by stimulating and inducing the wound healing process is considered a big step to repair the damaged tissue,” he added.
Qafqazi said that Tabaderm's special formulation provides benefits beyond a hydrogel dressing, the most important of which are stimulating protein production in the extracellular matrix and accelerating epithelialization, facilitating autolytic debridement, managing wound exudate, increasing angiogenesis in damaged tissue, and moisturizing the wound surface.
