How can the new burn accessories newly researched by scientists make skin abrasions heal faster?

At present, a new type of wound dressing has appeared in the treatment of burns and other wounds. Its function is to suck exudate from the covered wound and provide limited protection for the wound. At the same time, local debridement of the wound can promote wound healing.

First of all, the new wound dressing

In the past, after skin abrasions or burns, doctors usually treated the wounds by disinfection and dressing them with sterile gauze. When changing medicine, patients will feel great pain. Now, with the progress of science, great changes have taken place in wound dressing. The latest wound dressing fills the new gel with fruit flavor? Band-aid? This kind of dressing can draw the wound edges together by thermal contraction, and achieve rapid and safe healing.

Second, the characteristics of traditional dressings

When we heal skin damage, most treatments are to set a barrier on the wound. Through the most basic sterile gauze, band-aid, bandage, etc. Keep the wound moist locally, inhibit the pain and reduce the contact between microorganisms and the wound. The function of this traditional dressing is to cover the wound and absorb the wound exudate in time, but its function is limited. Moreover, due to the limited water absorption of traditional dressings, long-term non-replacement will lead to dry wounds, dehydration of cell surfaces, easy formation of local adhesion, increased difficulty in replacement, and very intense pain for patients. In recent years, the complexity of wound dressings developed by scientists is also relatively high, and some wounds are treated by pH and temperature. However, these dressings require expensive customization operations and are not suitable for mass production.

Thirdly, the function of new dressing.

The new gel dressing introduced this time is made of thermally responsive gel material. This highly viscous and antibacterial dressing can quickly close the wound and prevent the growth of bacteria without the help of any additional tools. The function of this dressing can also firmly combine chitosan in healthy skin with infiltrated skin, and ensure its adhesion to the injured part. Silver nanoparticles are also added to this auxiliary material, giving it antibacterial properties. Can help kill most infected bacteria.
