Researcher Kristina Researcher Kristina Kotyakova from the Center for Research on Inorganic Nanomaterials reported that scientists at the National University of Science and Technology have created a multifunctional wound dressing from the Center for Research on Inorganic Nanomaterials reported that scientists at the National University of Science and Technology have created a multifunctional wound dressing

 

The bandage is distinguished by its ability to quickly stop bleeding, prevent bacterial growth, and promote wound healing . Kotiakova explained that the bandage contains copper oxide nanoparticles that stimulate blood clotting, thus stopping bleeding more rapidly. These particles also prevent bacteria from surviving through multiple mechanisms, acting as a bactericide.

She added that the surfaces of the nanofibers in the bandage were modified with plasma and the antibiotic Panosin was applied to them , which helps to prevent scarring and accelerate the skin healing process .

The patch also features a self-dissolving design that degrades within 7 to 14 days , eliminating the need for removal and promoting natural skin regeneration. Currently, this patch is undergoing clinical trials to verify its effectiveness and safety.
