Abstract
- A recent study conducted by researchers at the State University of New York (SUNY) Binghamton has developed a new type of wound dressing that effectively absorbs wound exudate and delivers antibiotics. Traditional hydrophilic dressings and newer Janus-type dressings with hydrophobic-hydrophilic properties have limitations in draining wound exudate and maintaining moisture balance. The new single-layered Janus paper dressing addresses these issues by placing a hydrophilic layer directly against the wound for better moisture management and applying antibiotics through the hydrophobic layer. The dressing has been shown to effectively drain exudate, inhibit pathogen growth, and provide targeted antibiotic treatment. The dressing is flexible and wearable, ensuring conformal contact with the skin surface. [Extracted from the article]
