Researchers are using nanotechnology to develop a medical dressing which will detect and treat infection in wounds. Scientists in the UK are working together with teams across Europe and Australia to ...

A nanocellulose wound dressing that can reveal early signs of infection without interfering with the healing process has been developed by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden. Their study, ...

A foot infection can occur after an injury. Bacteria can get into a wound, such as a cut or a skin crack, and cause an infection. Sometimes the infection can form into an abscess. An infected foot is ...

(Nanowerk News) Applied onto the business end of artificial skin, nanofilms that release antibacterial silver over time can eradicate bacteria in full-thickness skin wounds in mice. Pioneered by a ...

Participants in the antimicrobial-dressing treatment arm experienced an additional 119 healing events. However, the researchers considered this "low-certainty evidence," due to risk of bias. Use of an ...

A wound dressing made from a nanocellulose mesh detects early signs of infection in skin wounds by monitoring pH. A nanocellulose-based wound dressing has been developed by researchers at Linköping ...

There is insufficient evidence to know whether dressings reduce the risk of wound infection after surgery and, in some cases, leaving a wound exposed may be better, say researchers. There is ...

Sucrose octasulfate dressing (UrgoStart Contact, Laboratoires Urgo Medical) shows promise as an option for treating neuroischemic diabetic foot ulcers, new research finds. Results from a randomized, ...

The medical technologies advisory committee considered evidence on antimicrobial agents in topical antimicrobial dressings for locally infected leg ulcers. Evidence was taken from several sources and ...

The skin is the largest organ of the human body. A wound disrupts the normal function of the skin and can take a long time to heal, be very painful for the patient and may, in a worst case scenario, ...
