Diabetic wounds, also known as diabetic foot ulcers, are a common complication of diabetes. They are typically caused by a combination of factors such as poor circulation, nerve damage, and prolonged high blood sugar levels. These wounds can occur on the feet, legs, and toes, and can be difficult to heal due to the decreased ability of the body to fight infection and repair damaged tissue.
A new class of polymer that promotes healing in hard-to-treat diabetic wounds has been discovered by researchers from the Experts from the School of Life Sciences and Pharmacy screened 315 different polymer surfaces, examining the different chemical makeup of each until they identified a polymer type that actively drives fibroblasts and immune cells to promote healing. A team from the School of Engineering made small particles that are decorated with this polymer on their surface. These particles could be directly applied to the wound area.
This new polymer could be applied as a coating to standard wound dressings to provide a fast and effective treatment.is one of the lead authors on the study and says: “This research is a significant step towards being able to create a new, low cost, effective treatment for diabetic wounds. The results we saw were achieved in just one application, which could be transformative for patients whose current treatment often involves repeated treatments delivered by trained health professionals.
