3D printed bandage for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers
Researchers from Queen’s University Belfast, UK, have designed a three-dimensional (3D) printed bandage that offers an innovative method of treating diabetic foot ulcers.
The development combines lipid nanoparticles and hydrogels, which are used to create personalised, skin-like, 3D-printed scaffolds, which are able to release both a bulk and sustained release of antibiotic-loaded molecules to treat diabetic ulcers.
