biomaterials

Brigham researchers developed a unique biomaterial to promote wound healing under various harsh conditions in the GI tract. They designed the material to be easy to apply and usable with current technology; it is delivered using a miniscule catheter, small enough to be inserted into any commercial endoscope.

Researchers develop sprayable hydrogel for gastrointestinal wound healing

The researchers investigated the effects of bioactive glass doped with ionic silver on biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the study showed that specific preparation, storage and application techniques can minimise the transformation of silver ions to silver chloride and so retain antimicrobial activity.
