Short Description
A patented biosynthetic skin patch that promotes rapid wound healing through cellular regeneration and biosensing.
A patented biosynthetic skin patch that promotes rapid wound healing through cellular regeneration and biosensing.
Long Description
The patented biosynthetic skin patch is a cutting-edge, wearable device designed to enhance wound healing through a combination of cellular regeneration and biosensing technologies. At its core, the patch consists of a thin, flexible substrate made from a biocompatible material such as silicone or polyurethane, which provides a protective barrier for the wound while allowing for the exchange of gases and moisture.The patch features a layer of biosynthetic cells, which are genetically engineered to produce specific growth factors and cytokines that promote cellular regeneration and tissue repair. These cells are derived from a variety of sources, including stem cells, and are designed to secrete a cocktail of therapeutic molecules that stimulate the wound healing process. The biosynthetic cells are immobilized within a hydrogel matrix, which provides a supportive environment for cell growth and function.Integrated into the patch are biosensing technologies that enable real-time monitoring of wound conditions, including temperature, pH, and oxygen levels. These sensors utilize advanced materials and technologies, such as nanowires, graphene, or optoelectronics, to provide high-resolution data on wound status. The data is transmitted wirelessly to a remote monitoring system, allowing healthcare professionals to track wound progression and adjust treatment strategies as needed.The patch also incorporates microfluidic channels and reservoirs that enable the controlled release of therapeutic molecules, such as growth factors, antibiotics, or anti-inflammatory agents. This allows for a sustained and targeted delivery of therapy, which can be tailored to the specific needs of the wound. The patch is powered by a small, rechargeable battery or can be powered wirelessly using inductive charging or other technologies. Overall, the patented biosynthetic skin patch represents a significant advancement in wound care, offering a rapid, effective, and non-invasive solution for promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration.
