Volgograd scientists have developed biodegradable dressings that accelerate wound healing, head of the disaster medicine department at Volgograd State Medical University, Doctor of Medical Sciences Sergei Poroisky, said on April 20 in a comment to TASS.
Poroisky noted that new materials created on the basis of chitosan contribute to faster cleansing of wounds from necrotic tissue and stimulate their healing. Studies have shown that using these materials speeds up the healing process by 30% compared to traditional methods.
Professor Evgeniy Bryuzgin from Volgograd State Technical University highlighted the unique properties of chitosan, including its biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity, which make it ideal for the creation of dressings and other medical applications.
The development was obtained thanks to the joint work of scientists from the Volgograd medical and technical universities. Hydrophilic chitosan sponges, in addition to medical applications, can be used to effectively collect petroleum products from the water surface.
A research group led by Russian Academy of Sciences academician Ivan Novakov and doctor of chemical sciences Alexander Navrotsky registered patents for the developed technology and material.
