Use of Wound Healing Polymers in Wound Dressings

Abstract

Wound is any kind of lesion caused by an external effect on the body and disrupts tissue structure and integrity. The effectiveness of the method to be applied in wound treatment depends on the selection according to the type of wound. Choosing the right method, the right material and the appropriate exposure time of the wound are critical parameters for wound healing. In this article, the healing polymers used in wound dressings were classified under two main headings as natural and synthetic polymers.

Yara İyileştirme Özellikli Polimerlerin Yara Örtülerinde Kullanımı

Abstract

Yara, vücutta bir dış etki ile oluşan, doku yapı ve bütünlüğünü bozan her türlü lezyondur. Yara tedavisinde uygulanacak yöntemin etkinliği, yara tipine uygun olarak seçilmesine bağlıdır. Doğru yöntem, doğru materyal ve yara örtüsü uygulama süresi seçimi yara iyileşmesi için kritik parametrelerdir. Bu makalede yara örtülerinde kullanılan iyileştirme özellikli polimerler doğal ve sentetik polimerler olmak üzere iki ana başlık altında toplanarak incelenmiştir. 

Keywords

• Yara tedavisi
• doğal polimerler
• sentetik polimerler
• polimerik yara örtüleri
• hasta refahı
