Treatment of burns and bedsores with fabric bandages

It would seem, what is the relationship between burn injuries, bedsores and textile material, fabric, especially as a means for their treatment.

Most people use for these purposes usually popular and well-known painkillers, such as Lidocaine solution, fatty ointments, potassium permanganate, etc., which contribute only to temporary pain relief of the wound.

To create a barrier protection against the penetration of external biological particles, conventional dressings are often used, which in essence do not have any therapeutic effect.

What helps from burns and bedsores and what does the effectiveness of their therapy methods depend on - and here textile fabric bandages.

The optimal method in the treatment of any burn, purulent injuries is the maximum sorption of external foreign agents from the inflamed surface.

Difficult to heal wounds are the result of the fact that toxic substances or pathogenic organisms are present in the damaged soft tissues, which contributes to the release of pus. If the body's immune system is strong, then it can cope with this problem without external interventions. The cells of the immune system, neutrophils and macrophages, can absorb a significant amount of bacteria and necrotic tissue in a relatively short time, ensuring the formation of pus.

After the termination of the infectious process, the dead cells and necrotic tissue in the pus gradually dissolve, and the final products are absorbed into the surrounding tissues and lymph until most of the signs of tissue damage disappear.

But if the immune system is weakened, for example, due to concomitant diseases or the age of a person, then this process can be delayed for a long time, causing complications in the future.  

In order to help mast cells synthesizing histamine for a protective reaction of the immune system, as well as a rapid and effective regeneration process, the treatment of burn wounds and bedsores should be based on rapid sorption of infectious agents and detoxification of tissues, especially with a weakened human immune system, which does not contribute to their rapid healing.  

In this case, textile dressings with special sorption properties can provide significant assistance in the treatment of these pathologies. carbon fiber textile material on a viscose basis.

The effectiveness of carbon textile dressing is based on its high porosity and capillary activity. Due to the soft textile structure of the material, gentle adhesive properties and unique sorption properties (carbon content up to 99.9%), this material contributes to the effective removal of foreign particles from the body and rapid wound healing, even using it at home.

This textile structure of the material absorbs microorganisms, chemicals and purulent secretions. It quickly cleanses the wound in the inflammatory stage, prevents infection of the wound, relieves swelling and inflammation, absorbs odor, prevents the development of complications and heals wounds in a short time without the formation of rough scars.

Due to the perfect carbon layers and high carbon content, textile dressings made of this material cope better than others in the treatment of severe forms of thermal burns (boiling water, steam, chemical solutions), as well as bedsores and trophic ulcers, especially in bedridden patients.

Back in the 80s, little-known material, due to its secrecy of production and military-technical orientation, was only tested during the fighting in Afghanistan and Chechnya, during man-made accidents for the treatment of wounds and burns, as an alternative to bandages and traditional dressings.

The secret development of carbon dressings was caused by the need to treat, at that time, victims of the explosion of a nuclear reactor in Chernobyl.

Carbon fiber is a kind of the best material, «sponge» for absorbing any fractions of pathogens - purulent secretions are captured and retained by it.

In its structure, such textiles retain moisture and medicines, so it does not completely dry out and does not stick to the damaged surface, but creates an antiseptic film, thanks to which rapid healing occurs.

To date, little-known material is actively trying to enter everyday life for the treatment of not only burns and bedsores, but also skin diseases and wounds of various origins: acne, trophic ulcers, fistulas, purulent cavities.

It allows you to avoid complications associated with intoxication of the body with wound exudate with its toxins and necrosis products. Even difficult-to-treat skin diseases, as a result of the use of carbon textiles for medical purposes, can achieve positive results in cases where medicinal and other methods of treatment lose their effect.

This is the difference and uniqueness of carbon textile material in the treatment of burns and bedsores of any stages in comparison with conventional methods of treatment.
