Inkjet technology heals wounds quickly

Scientists at Wake Forest University (USA) have studied wound healing technology by "printing" artificial skin to the wound surface.

This technology is operated like an inkjet printer, in which " ink " is made of living cells. Through the mixed and chemical reactions of many materials, this technology can " print " a living layer of tissue to the surface of the wound to help heal wounds quickly.

Currently, this technology has been successfully tested in animals and has been shown to promote the healing and healing of wounds.

Scientists say skin organization plays an important role in healing the wound. A lack of skin due to injury or severe burns will make the wound very difficult to heal, and is one of the main causes leading to infection even death.

Through experiments on mice, the researchers found that rats were treated with the technology after two or three weeks of wound healing. For the third week the entire wound was closed and scar formation.

The next step, scientists will perform pig experiments (which are similar to human skin organisms) to demonstrate the feasibility of this technology.
