Advanced Iran-made wound dressings accelerate healing with nanotechnology, silver

A knowledge-based company in Iran has developed advanced wound dressings using nanotechnology and the antimicrobial properties of silver to accelerate the healing of skin injuries and wounds, the Communications and Information Center of the Iranian Vice Presidency for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-based Economy reported.

Mahmoud Ghafghazi, the CEO of Taba Biopolymer, highlighted the innovative features of the dressings, which aim to address technological gaps in the domestic market while offering high-quality, cost-effective solutions.

The new dressings, designed to combat infections, feature a collagen matrix structure resembling human skin.

The advanced design, combined with bioactive polymers, enhances wound healing and enables the treatment of deep and complex wounds.

Ghafghazi emphasized that the dressings are particularly effective for diabetic wounds, bedsores, neuropathic ulcers, surgical wounds, vascular insufficiency wounds, acute or chronic exudative wounds, as well as tendon and bone injuries.

The domestically produced dressings offer a competitive edge over imported alternatives, both in quality and affordability.

With over 90% of such products currently imported, the local production of the dressings is expected to save more than $50 million annually.

Ghafghazi noted that the company’s focus on research and development has led to a diverse range of wound care products, positioning Iran as a leader in advanced medical technologies.
