NIT Rourkela Develops Nanotech-Enhanced Smart Wound Dressing to Improve Healing
Researchers at NIT Rourkela have developed an affordable smart wound dressing combining cotton gauze with nanotechnology and biomaterials to improve wound care. The dressing integrates chitosan-coated gauze with a curcumin-filled electrospun nanofibrous layer, which provides antimicrobial protection, reduces pain during dressing changes, and promotes faster healing by minimizing tissue damage. This innovation aims to maintain a sterile environment and reduce the frequency of dressing changes, addressing limitations of traditional cotton gauze.
