Description
Philipp Schadte and twelve co-authors printed a wound dressing that can carry healing proteins, in a study published in 2023. Good dressings must keep the wound moist, guard against germs, let it breathe, and deliver treatment. Their ink blends a seaweed-based gel with four-armed zinc oxide particles, which kill germs on their own. The ink prints with a high load of the particles, in open or closed cell pads.
Open pads let the arms of the particles stick out and proved to kill germs. The particles also hold proteins well, which marks them as drug carriers. Skin tests on removed skin showed no harm from the gel pads. The team sees the pad as a platform: swap the protein, test the treatment. Each print can be shaped to the patient. The work joins printing craft with wound care needs.
