The nanographite-based wound dressing as the example of optimal balance of sorption and adhesive properties

The aim of the study was to examine receptivity and absorptivity of the nanographite-based wound dressing in comparison with the modern high efficiency bandages. Receptivity, absorptivity, and adhesive properties of wound dressings have been examined in vitro by the Abaev method and in vivo by the Philatov & Ryltsev method. In comparison with a number of modern high efficiency bandages, the nanographite-based wound dressing showed higher receptivity and absorptivity with minimal adhesive properties. The nanographite-based dressing was found to efficiently adsorb wound fluid retaining it within the sorption layer for a long time. Our data suggest that the nanographite-based wound dressing ideally complies with the requirements for treatment of highly exudating wounds and provides a number of advantages over the available modern bandages.
