IIT Guwahati Invents biodegradable low-cost composite wound dressing film

This material, which is 50 percent economical compared to similar products, creates a moist environment that enables the body to heal on its own through endogenous enzymes

Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati researchers have invented a Biodegradable low-cost Composite Transparent Wound Dressing Film. This material, based on the integration of a synthetic polymer, is non-toxic in nature and will create a moist environment that would enable the body to heal on its own through the endogenous enzymes, according to recent research. The laboratory-scale development was found to be at least 50 percent economical in comparison with similar commercial materials.
