Smart Bandage System: A Combination Of Chitosan, Nanoparticles And Electric Stimulation

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus, the world's fastest growing chronic disease, still affects more than 420 million people around the world. For years, many patients continue their lives with these diabetic wounds or lose their limbs mostly due to infection, against all countermeasures taken which are a long and painful treatments. For such chronic wounds, passive dressing treatments are accepted to be not very effective. In this study, a dressing system was developed for the improvement of healing time in chronic and diabetic wounds. The designed system has combined the effectiveness of bioelectric stimulation and the clinical effects of chitosan to accelerate wound healing process. The dressing system was obtained by bringing these two systems together. The designed chitosan films form the inner surface layer of dressing, while the electro stimulation circuit electrodes are at the ends of the dressing. When sending current pulses to the tissue surface during treatment current could pass through the chitosan films. Therefore, the current flowing through chitosan films was also measured in this study
