A group of researchers at the Establishment of Cutting edge Concentrate in Science and Innovation (IASST) in Assam have fostered an eco-accommodating and minimal expense wound dressing material utilizing banana strands.
The specialists drove by Prof. Devasish Chowdhury and Prof. (Retd) Rajlakshmi Devi utilized banana pseudostems, which get disposed of in overflow post collect.
They cunningly consolidated the banana strands with biopolymers like chitosan and guar gum to make a multifunctional fix with brilliant mechanical strength and cell reinforcement properties.
Further, the fix was stacked with a concentrate from the Vitex negundo L. plant, exhibiting the abilities of plant remove stacked banana fiber-biopolymer composite fix in vitro drug discharge and as antibacterial specialists.
Every one of the materials utilized in making this imaginative dressing material are regular and locally accessible, making the assembling system straightforward, financially savvy, and non-harmful, the group said.
“This examination makes the way for another period in injury recuperating, offering a minimal expense, solid, and harmless to the ecosystem elective that holds huge likely in biomedical exploration,” said Prof. Chowdhury, in a proclamation.
The banana fiber-biopolymer composite dressing could reform twisted care with its wide applications and positive effect on wellbeing and the climate, said the group in a review, distributed in the Worldwide Diary of Organic Macromolecules.
The injury dressing material presents a maintainable answer for wound care and may likewise help ranchers and limit natural effect.
