unisa - Giant step forward to help treat chronic wounds that affect millions
Dans la série « l'Homme réparé », un hydrogel, activé par du plasma pour aider à guérir les blessures résistantes, sans antibiotiques ou formulation à l'argent.
A team of international scientists has developed a more effective treatment for chronic wounds that does not involve antibiotics or silver-based dressings, but an ionized gas called plasma. The treatment involves boosting the plasma activation of hydrogel dressings with a unique mix of different chemical oxidants that decontaminate and help heal chronic wounds. University of South Australia physicist Dr Endre Szili, who led the study published this week in Advanced Functional Materials, describes the new method as “a significant breakthrough” that could revolutionise the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, internal wounds and potentially cancerous tumours.
