A new development of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University will be able to heal wounds and affected areas of the skin. Scientists have created a biocompatible material that is compatible with human cells, the press service of the university said.
Employees of SPbPU proved that the material based on the carbon material graphene, when using an electric pulse, is not toxic to skin cells and allows you to increase their activity. In addition, it can be used repeatedly. There are no analogues in the world for such a project.
“Now there are many devices that use electrical stimulation, but they have a significant disadvantage – the electrode that comes into contact with the skin does not have sufficient biocompatibility, which limits the biomedical effect – wounds and scars heal for a long time”– comments project manager Vera Kodolova-Chukhontseva.
According to the staff of SPbPU, over the past ten years, scientists have proven that the processes of restoration of the cover can be controlled using electricity. This method helps to avoid scarring.
It should be noted that industrial giants expressed their interest in the development, among which is the Shvabe holding of the Rostec corporation.
Earlier in Russia, software was created for tomography. It allows you to take a clear picture, even if the object moved during the examination.
