Nanomaterial will reduce blood loss in emergency victims by four times

MISIS University specialists have developed a new medical material that can significantly improve the effectiveness of care for severe injuries and emergencies. This is a nanotechnology dressing containing copper nanoparticles and antibiotics.

In animal trials, it reduced blood loss by more than four times compared to traditional bandages. The development also provides protection against infections.

"The bandage is intended primarily for severe wounds in conditions of limited medical care. It is made of nanofibre material — the thinnest membrane, a fiber that is hundreds of times thinner than a human hair. The innovative patch, which has passed clinical trials, is able to reduce blood loss by almost four times compared to conventional dressings, accelerate wound healing, and destroy a wide range of bacterial strains. The bandage will also be effective in the treatment of diabetic ulcers and complex burns," said Alevtina Chernikova, Rector of NUST MISIS.

Difficult-to-heal wounds and burns sustained in extreme conditions or emergency zones often become hotbeds of dangerous infections. They can be caused by bacteria that are resistant to most antibiotics. The combination of drugs included by scientists in the material will help solve this problem.
