Cytotoxicity and hemostatic activity of chitosan/carrageenan composite wound healing dressing for traumatic hemorrhage.

Hemorrhage remains a big threat to trauma patients, especially in combat fields. Therefore, we formulated a biocompatible and biopolymer based chitosan/carrageenan composite dressing. This dressing was fabricated using freeze-drying that will serve as a promising material to promote hemostasis and tissue growth required during hemorrhage.

A novel green approach for dyeing polyester using glycerine based eutectic solvent as a dyeing medium.

In the past decade, water scarcity has become major concern and is going to be reality in future too. At the same time textile is necessity which needs a billion liters of fresh water for its processing. Out of this 16 % of water is only used for dyeing of textile materials.

Hemostasis and anti-necrotic activity of wound-healing dressing containing chitosan nanoparticles.

Necrotic tissues are the dead tissues present in the wounded areas, which need to be removed for rapid wound healing. Various biopolymer-based dressings have been exploited to heal infected wounds, but with limited success. In a quest to develop an effective and economic wound dressing, a biodegradable dressing containing chitosan nanoparticles has been successfully developed.
