Wounds treatment, materials

One aim of modern wound treatment with new materials is the reduction of infection and the normalization of healing. In veterinary medicine, experience with such optimized materials are limited and conclusions are contradictory. Some investigations have been carried out on the leg of horses, but - in comparison with other animals or kinds of wounds - these show different healing processes characteristics [127-133]. The majority of clinical trials introduce modern wound-treatment materials applied in human medicine to veterinary practice. These studies show positive results [134-136]. 

BC is a good material not only for wound treatment and other fields of veterinary medicine, but also as a scaffold material for cell cultivation in tissue engineering [156,157]. On such scaffolds the fzmb has cultivated the following cell types successfully human osteoblasts, human osteogenic sarcoma cells (SAOS-2), equine osteoblast lines and chondrocytes, and mesenchymal stem cells. 

Health care, medical, and pharmaceutical applications In controlled-release products as tablet and capsule binders, tablet and capsule excipients, wound healing materials, and blood volume expanders and for constipation and diarrhea treatment... 

BNC is also a good material for use in veterinary medicine. Important aspects of BNC application in veterinary practice are cure of overtaxed muscles by cooling and wound treatment of various animals such as horses, sheep, cows, cats, and dogs (Klemm et al., 2006).

For many years, textile structures have been successfully used for wound treatment, operations and implants. The popular range of these products include plasters, wound gauze, dressing material, surgical stitch material, vessel prosthesis and hernia nets. There is a differentiation between external and internal (implant) application. Most products are woven or knitted textile materials, which, for the various applications, are made up according to individual requirements. Figure 12.1 illustrates an embroidered stent. 

For the next several centuries, dressings did not progress far beyond the traditional rag and herb structure. It wasnit until after World War II that medical science began to investigate other procedures and materials for wound care. One major development in wound treatment was combating infections frequently caused by poorly laundered hospital cloths (12). In the 1950 s, synthetic materials were first used to help promote healing.
