Nanofiber Technology Applied to Absorbable Sutures

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Nanotechnology methods, in particular electrospinning, is both a promising technology and a vital scientific tool to be utilized for global benefits with a variety of applications. Over the past ten years, there has been a significant improvement of the techniques and methods used to design, assemble, and create nanomaterials by electrospinning. There are many techniques as our disposal for the creation of various nanomaterials, but electrospinning in particular has garnered significant interest over the years due to its ability to assemble nanostructures with unique properties. These properties encompass functions such as allowing for a high surface area, inter/intra fibrous porosity, and other pecialized assets. In this study, cold water fish scale gelatin was electro spun to produce fibers to be made into strands. The work has been planned to use a braiding machine to form the functional structured from nanofibers, e.g., sutures. The work is in progress to explore these strands in combination with other biopolymers to create a high tensile strength, absorbable and bio-compatible suture. This braided suture could be infused with other ingredients (anesthesia, antimicrobials, etc) to be diffused into the body over time.
