This polymer-based dressing might also be utilized to deliver chemotherapy in cancer treatment.
This soft, flexible dressing is made of hydrogel. For this novel dressing, the team first performed 3D scans of the burnt body part and then 3D-printed to cover the wounded tissue precisely.
In addition, the hydrogel-based dressing substance can be preloaded with medicine and administered directly into the wound. This reduces the need for frequent dressing changes, reducing removal pain. When it's time to inspect the wound, a cold cloth is placed on the dressing's exterior surface, allowing the hydrogel to cool and expand and letting the material loosen its hold on the scar. Thereby allowing the removal of the dressing with little to no discomfort.
