A nanostructure similar to the clavicle could be used one day in bandages to promote wound healing. Researchers report ACS applied bio materials That laboratory tests of their nanoflotic -coated dressings demonstrate antibiotic, anti -inflammatory and biocompatible properties. They say that these results show that these Nanoflewer bandages sprouted with tannic acid and copper (II) are promising candidates to treat inflammatory infections and conditions.
Nanoflowers are small and self -assembly structures. But its large surface area provides a lot of space to join drug molecules, causing flowers to be particularly suitable for administering medications. For their bandage flowers, Fatemeh Ahmadpoor, loses Francesco Ferrari and his colleagues chose copper (II) phosphate and tannic acid due to antibiotics and anti -inflammatory properties of both reagents.
After growing their flowers in a saline solution, the researchers linked the bio -signed structures in electrohilated nanofibra fabric strips. In the tests, the nanoflotes coated bandages inactivated a broad spectrum of cultivated bacteria (included E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus) and its antibiotic resistant biofilms, reactive oxygen species collected and did not damage the human cells cultivated in the laboratory.
Ahmadpoor and Ferrari say that these nanoflotic -coated bandages represent an innovative advance by providing a natural, profitable and highly efficient solution to combat infections and accelerate wound healing, with the potential to redefine treatment standards.
