Researchers develop smart wound dressing for burns
A team of researchers led by Dr. Boxin Zhao, a professor in chemical engineering at the University of Waterloo, has made significant strides in developing intelligent hydrogel materials for use as a reusable wound dressing.
Using advanced polymers, this new programmable 3D printed wound dressing could enhance the healing process for burn patients and have potential applications for drug delivery in cancer treatment as well as in the cosmetic industry.
