University of Missouri System: Missouri University of Science and Technology
posted on 02/04/2011
A mesh/fibers/flexible dressing composed of bioactive glass that can be used as a wound care material for treating both hard and soft tissues in mammals
Suggested Uses
• Flexible dressing for wound care management comprising a three-dimensional compressible body of loose glass-based fibers
• Can also be formed into rigid material for implantation
• Can be combined with other materials to form an ointment or cream that promote healing
• Can be formulated as biocompatible surgical glue for closing a wound
• Can be formulated as a surgical suture for closing a wound
• Material can be compounded to contain trace elements to promote bone, vessel and tissue growth
Advantages
• Bioactive
• Biodegradable
• Flexible
• Can be made multifunctional
• Can be made antimicrobial
Detailed Description
This invention is a porous, flexible mesh composed primarily of a bioactive glass that is flexible and can deliver useful elements directly to a wound site while remaining breathable and permeable to air or fluids. Wounds such as diabetic ulcers or other open wounds can be covered with this biodegradable material to form a temporary and resorbable barrier. The material can be made into a variety of shapes for applications ranging from wound covering to implant fixation.
