HTTP:: New Silver Treated Materials for Healing Wounds
--------
Silver-treated antibacterial bandages are nothing new in hospitals around the world, but, while the chemical indeed kills most of the pathogens, it also harms certain cells in the patients' skins, which are necessary in order for the healing process to go as fast as possible. This happens on account of the large load of silver that remains in existing bandages, and researchers have been looking for a way to eliminate that for a long time. Now, one has apparently managed to achieve this. University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) postdoctoral researcher Ankit Agarwal presented the new idea at the 238th annual meeting of the American Chemical Society on August 19th, in Washington DC. He says that the new material, which is extremely lightweight and contains only 0.4 percent of the amount of silver that can be found on regular, one-inch bandages, has the ability to kill about 99.99 percent of the bacteria it encounters, while leaving the essential fibroblast cells intact. Fibrob!
lasts are a crucial part of the body's response to injuries and burns, and they operate very quickly so as to limit the overall amount of damage that the body has to suffer from. By not inhibiting them, the new types of wound dressings could find particularly suited applications in treating injuries in diabetics, who notoriously suffer...
