"Don't underestimate this small piece of gel. It can not only effectively promote wound healing, but also reduce the formation of scars. At present, we have obtained a cooperative project of Xiangya Medical College." Professor, School of Materials Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology Peng Xiaohong pointed to the product in his hand and said. This transparent gel, combined with a breathable film with good waterproof performance, forms a new type of medical dressing. It not only has antibacterial and waterproof properties, but also effectively promotes wound healing. While the efficiency is significantly improved, it also promotes the reform of medical dressings.
This research and development technology based on the copper-based MOF hydrogel functionalized antibacterial membrane to synergistically promote skin regeneration and repair was jointly developed by FSJW Medical Material Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jin Wanda"), China Chemical Industry Society and South China University of Technology , Is the first in China.
Tripartite cooperation to overcome difficulties to promote the reform of medical dressings
As a subsidiary of FSFS Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Fosu Group"), since 2007, FSJW has been committed to the development and manufacture of non-porous waterproof and moisture-permeable membranes. The products have been successfully used in medical protective clothing and surgical gowns. Wait. During the epidemic this year, Jin Wanda also actively produced protective clothing sleeves to ensure the supply of medical protective clothing companies.
More than that, through the innovative form of technical alliances, FSJW, in collaboration with the China Chemical Industry Society and South China University of Technology, researched and established a copper-based MOF hydrogel functionalized antibacterial non-porous moisture-permeable membrane with adjustable preparation methods and copper-based MOF hydrogel functions The antibacterial membrane synergistically promotes skin regeneration and repair mechanism.
This cooperation benefited from a technology seminar held by South China University of Technology and FSFS Group in 2018. Peng Xiaohong learned that Jinwanda is developing an antibacterial breathable film, which fits well with the hydrogel material it has been working on.
"The hydrogel we developed contains copper-based MOF, which has a bactericidal effect and can be stably released when used in medical dressings. This is a technical difficulty in our research. At the same time, a film with good antibacterial, breathable and waterproof performance is needed to form a new Medical dressing." Peng Xiaohong said.
Then the two formed a technical team to tackle technical problems. At the same time, with the help of China Chemical Industry Association, successfully prepared copper-based MOF nanoparticles with good antibacterial properties.
"It's like a wound dressing. The inner layer is medicine and the outer layer is a protective layer. Our antibacterial membrane is used as the outer layer, which has good waterproof, antibacterial and breathable properties. The hydrogel can play a bactericidal effect and can effectively promote wound healing. "Peng Xiaohong said.
The product will be put into production in October this year
"Currently, the global medical dressing market is increasing year by year. The global application ratio of new medical dressings has reached 60%, while the penetration rate of the Chinese market is about 20%, which has huge market space." said Wu Yaogen, chairman of Jinwanda.
Wu Yaogen revealed that the product will be commercialized in October this year.
