Cotton candy maker creates wound healing material

The American cotton candy machine has the ability to polymerize artificial blood vessels to heal wounds.

Superfine fiber is made from cotton candy machine.

Two laboratories at Vanderbilt University and Harvard University in collaboration with the National Science Foundation study how ultra-thin polymer strands to create wound healing materials for medical and military support, Quartz, 15th. / 8 reported.

With the conventional cotton candy machine, researchers at Vanderbilt University used a polymer instead of sugar to create thin strands. The wound healing hydrogel is injected into the yarn mixture to form a fine mesh like capillary. This mixture allows the blood and nutrients to pass through, helping the wound heal.

In research by Harvard scientists, polymer fibers are used to make lightweight blazers for soldiers.
