Electrospun polymer fibre mats for controlled release of antibacterials
Scientists at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Kraków, Poland, have developed wound dressings composed of electrospun polymer mats incorporating the antibacterial drug metronidazole.
These dressings are said to enable controlled, localised drug release that promises to transform infection treatment in mucous membrane wounds without exposing the body to unwanted systemic effects.
