EU nonwoven program to hugely increase recovery from burns

The material characterisation of the systems developed has included size distribution, stability in air, vacuum and different solutions and the permeation of water into the systems. Biological validation is on-going.

The researchers anticipate the final prototype will:

-Sense infection by showing a colour change

-Respond to a pre-set concentration of pathogenic bacteria, but will not respond to non-pathogenic bacteria.

-Be easy to apply.

Today, at best, standard dressings allow for infection control and supported tissue growth. If it succeeds, the Bacteriosafe solution will represent a major breakthrough in certain areas of burn wound treatment.
