Description
Naghmeh Nademi and five colleagues build in 2026 a wound dressing that fights bacteria, conducts electricity, and releases antibiotic on schedule. The film blends gellan and agar gels with chopped electrospun fibers carrying a conductive polymer-graphene mix, plus particles loaded with ciprofloxacin. Conductivity matters because gentle electrical cues are thought to help tissue repair.
The best fiber recipe, using one and a half percent of the conductive blend, delivered the highest conductivity and noticeably strengthened the film's stretch resistance and stiffness. Drug release followed a steady first-order pattern rather than dumping its payload at once. Growth halos in culture dishes confirmed killing power against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, stronger against the latter. Swelling and breakdown behavior also suited wound contact, and the authors propose trials in living tissue.
