Engineered nanofiber dressings deliver metformin to burn wounds, accelerating healing. These resorbable, radially aligned materials show significant improvement in wound repair without adverse effects in animal models.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Wound Healing Research

Background:

  • Deep burns cause tissue damage and microvessel issues, hindering wound healing.
  • Advanced dressings are needed to mimic tissue and deliver drugs effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a resorbable, radially aligned nanofiber dressing for sustained metformin release.
  • To assess the efficacy of this dressing in promoting burn wound healing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized pin-ring electrospinning and differential membrane thickness for gradient drug release.
  • Fabricated resorbable, radially aligned poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers.
  • Incorporated water-soluble metformin to enhance hydrophilicity.

Main Results:

  • Dressings showed uniform, radially oriented fibers and sustained metformin release for 30 days.
  • In vivo studies demonstrated superior burn wound healing in rats compared to controls.
  • Histological analysis confirmed no adverse effects from the nanofiber mesh.

Conclusions:

  • Radially aligned, gradient metformin-eluting nanofiber dressings are effective advanced wound care solutions.
  • These dressings offer potential for broad clinical application and impact in managing complex wounds.
