Iranian Firm Makes Nano-Based Wound-Healing Products
“A group of wound-healing products were made in our company for the first time in Iran and even the world, using natural biopolymers. These biopolymers were extracted from natural resources within the country and indigenized. We also managed to register five international European patents for these products,” said Soheila Salahshour Kordestani, the managing director of Chitotech company.
Several product groups have been made at Chitotech company. The first group is wound healers, which include a large family of products and are used for all types of wounds, specially chronic and resistant wounds; the second group of products is related to hemostatic agents. These products are widely used in surgeries, specially for patients with blood clotting problems, such as hemophiliacs. We have now expanded our portfolio of these products. Some of these hemostatic agents are designed to be suitable for home use, for instance, for superficial cuts or scrapes that occur in everyday life,” she noted.
‘One of our new products, made with nanotechnology, is a type of hemostatic agent that is truly unique in the world. The outstanding feature of these products is the use of silver nanotechnology,” Salahshour Kordestani said.
In a relevant development in 2023, another nanotechnology company in Iran had also succeeded in production of a group of disinfectant solutions based on silver nanoparticles.
‘Keyfiat Tolid Takapo’ company has manufactured the group of disinfectant solutions which contain different concentrations of silver nanoparticles as an antibacterial agent.
The products include wound disinfectant solution suitable for the burning injury, hand sanitizer, disinfectant solution for injection site, disinfectant solution for rinsing tools and instruments, disinfectant solution for rinsing surfaces and floors, disinfectant solution for mouthwash, disinfectant solution for car first aid kit, disinfectant solution for advanced first aid kit, disinfectant solution for portable first aid kit and hand sanitizer foam.
The addition of silver nanoparticles to the solutions in different concentrations has led to stronger antibacterial activity.
