Purpose: To evaluate the use of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage (Band-Aid liquid, Ethicon, Johnson & Johnson, New Jersey, USA) as a temporary treatment in patients awaiting surgical repair for involutional entropion.
Methods: Thirteen patients (15 eyelids) with involutional entropion were evaluated while they waited for surgical intervention. The lids were repositioned by the application of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage in the malar fold. Patients were followed-up at days 1, 7 and 15. Assessment and duration of correction were recorded.
Results: All the patients presented successful correction at day 1, with significant improvements in signs and symptoms. The mean duration of action of the octyl2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage was three days. No ocular or dermatological reactions were noted.
Conclusion: Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage showed to be a simple, safe and effective option to temporarily treat involutional entropion, while patients waited for surgical intervention.

Research on shape memory materials (SMM) or smart materials, along with advancements in printing technology, has transformed three-dimensional (3D) printing into what we now refer to as 4D printing. In this context, the addition of time as a fourth dimension enhances 3D printing. 4D printing involves the creation of 3D-printed objects that can change their shapes into complex geometries when influenced by external stimuli such as temperature, light, or pH over time.

Current wound dressings are insufficient in simultaneously addressing bacterial infections and oxidative stress, which severely affects wound healing outcomes. To solve this problem, we introduced poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) with strong antibacterial properties and cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs) with excellent antioxidant capabilities into polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber membranes to prepare a novel composite dressing. The PIL-CeONPs-PAN nanofiber membrane provides sustained antibacterial activity through stably embedded PIL, while the uniformly distributed CeONPs achieve controlled release, avoiding safety issues caused by the rapid release of active substances.

Chronic wounds, which require prolonged healing periods, pose significant impacts on individuals with diabetes, vascular diseases, and high blood pressure. Simultaneous drainage and monitoring of wound exudate are vital for advanced wound management. However, recently reported smart dressings either lack integration of wound cleaning and monitoring functions or fail to achieve dynamic in situ monitoring of wound status, which hinders their ability to meet the demands of wound care.

Compression therapy is a widely used treatment for various disorders including venous leg ulcers. Traditional methods such as inelastic bandages and elastic stockings, have limitations in maintaining optimal pressure over time. Dynamic therapy devices offer intermittent pressure cycles but are often bulky or rigid.
