3D Printing Technology Applications in Polymeric Dressings

Abstract

Polymeric wound dressings are frequently preferred in wound treatment because they can be used together with various polymers, are inexpensive, and support wound healing. Nevertheless, the inability to use these dressings on irregularly shaped wounds is a siginificant problem in wound treatment. Recently, personalized wound dressings dressings using 3D printers have overcome this challenge and have become a very interesting subject for researchers. These personalized wound dressings have removed the limitations in this area by offering patient-specific treatment methods. In this study, literature studies on polymeric wound dressings produced with 3D printers using various biocompatible polymers were examined and focused on the effects of these dressings on wound healing.

Polimerik Yara Örtülerinde 3B Baskı Teknolojisi Uygulamaları

Abstract

Polimerik yara örtüleri çeşitli polimerlerin bir arada kullanılabilmesi, ucuz olmaları ve yara iyileşmesini desteklemesi sebebiyle yara tedavisinde sıklıkla tercih edilmektedir. Ancak bu yara örtülerinin düzensiz şekilli yaralarda kullanılamaması yara tedavisinde karşılaşılan önemli bir sorundur. Son zamanlarda 3B yazıcılar kullanılarak kişiye özel üretilen yara örtüleri bu sorunu ortadan kaldırmış ve araştırmacılar için oldukça ilgi çekici bir konu haline gelmiştir. Kişiselleştirilen bu yara örtüleri hastaya özel tedavi yöntemleri sunarak bu alandaki sınırlamaları ortadan kaldırmıştır. Bu çalışmada, çeşitli biyouyumlu polimerler kullanılarak 3B yazıcılar ile üretilen polimerik yara örtüleri ile ilgili literatür çalışmaları incelenmiş ve bu yara örtülerinin yara iyileşmesindeki etkilerine odaklanılmıştır.
