Professors Of deniel Smith and Darrell Of reneker from the university Of akrona to Ohio conduct the clinical tests of the so-called nano-bandages.
They are made from the ultrathin polymeric fibers and possess the high absorbing qualities, which makes it possible to slowly transfer medicines to the wound. It is reported that the prime cost of bandages are low, they elastic, light and capable of taking any form, without sticking to the wound.
Bandage from the nano-fiber frees the mono-oxide of nitrogen (NO), which possesses bactericidal action and impedes the process of infection. Are especially useful nano-bandages for the diabetics, in organism of whom NO is manufactured in an insufficient quantity.
At present the clinical tests of nano-bandages are conducted in Columbia, where they are used for treating of leyshmanioza, disease, caused by the parasites, that are transmitted through the bites of sandy mosquitoes.
The results of tests showed that the development reduces the time of recovery from several months and even years to the pair of weeks. Furthermore, very process of treatment much more easily in the comparison with the traditional, which requires constant intravenous injections.
The following step of scientists will become the clinical tests of nano-bandages for treating the diabetic ulcers, and also their application in stomatology and cardiac surgery. Developers hope that their invention will be soon accepted by the administration for foodstuffs and medicines OF THE USA (FDA), and mass production will begin as long ago as 2008.
But the application of nanovolokon is not limited to bandages. The scientists of the same university conduct works, also, on the ceramic nanos-fiber, which will prove useful for the thermoresistant filters, and also by the fibers, covered with metals or carbon, reports iXBT.
