Wound care news hand-picked for you.
Electroceutical wound dressings, especially those involving current flow with silver based electrodes, show promise for treating biofilm infections. However, their mechanism of action is poorly understood. We have developed an in vitro agar based model using a bioluminescent strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to measure loss of activity and killing when direct current was applied.
Read MoreNew research, published in The Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, reveals that the unique phenolic acids found in wild blueberries speed up the migration of cells that line our blood vessels (endothelial cells). Cell migration (the moving of cells in order to begin forming new tissue) is an integral part of angiogenesis (the development of blood vessels to supply the newly forming tissue) and the wound healing process.

Read MoreOrganogenesis Holdings Inc. today announced that a new case series published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open suggests PuraPly® Antimicrobial (PuraPly AM) positively affects the course of healing in a variety of complex, chronic wounds that were previously unresponsive to treatment.
Read MoreScientists have created such a mobile skin bioprinting system — the first of its kind — that allows bi-layered skin to be printed directly into a wound.
Read MoreHealing of non‐traumatic skin ulcers is often suboptimal. Prognostic tools that identify people at high risk of delayed healing within the context of routine ulcer assessments may improve this, but robust evidence on which factors to include is lacking.
Read MoreWound care medical device designer DTAMedical has announced the inclusion of a first patient in a clinical trial with VistaCare ONE for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds, via a concept of contactless Wound Environment Control (WEC) therapy.
Read MoreMerakris Therapeutics has developed a system designed to mimic cell-cell interactions in utero to produce maximal secreted protein output that is harvested from co-cultured stem cells. Initial experiments indicate it is a strong candidate to support early-phase wound healing.
Read MoreThe Charing Cross International Symposium (CX) continues its three-year cycle of raising vascular and endovascular controversies in order to challenge the available evidence and be able to reach a consensus after discussion with an expert audience.
Read MoreResearchers in the Syracuse University College of Engineering and Computer Science have developed a material — a new kind of shape memory polymer (SMP) — that could have major implications for health care.
