Nonwoven Textiles from Hyaluronan for Wound Healing Applications.

Nonwoven textiles are used extensively in the field of medicine, including wound healing, but these textiles are mostly from conventional nondegradable materials, e.g., cotton or synthetic polymers such as polypropylene.

Composite Hemostatic Nonwoven Textiles Based on Hyaluronic Acid, Cellulose, and Etamsylate.

The achievement of rapid hemostasis represents a long-term trend in hemostatic research. Specifically, composite materials are now the focus of attention, based on the given issues and required properties. In urology, different materials are used to achieve fast and effective hemostasis.

Stabilization of hyaluronan-based materials by peptide conjugation and its use as a cell-seeded scaffold in tissue engineering.

New materials based on molecules naturally occurred in body are assumed to be fully biocompatible and biodegradable. In our study, we used hyaluronic acid (HA) modified with peptides, which meet all this criterion and could be advantageously used in tissue engineering. Peptides with RGD, IKVAV or SIKVAV adhesive motif were attached to HA-based fiber or non-woven textile through ester bond in the term of solid phase peptide synthesis.
