Engineering Copper Nanoparticle/Polysaccharide-immobilized Cotton Gauze for Accelerated Healing of Staphylococcus aureus-infected Dermal Wounds

Key Points

• This study aims to assess the effectiveness of copper nanoparticle-polysaccharide dressings in accelerating healing of infected wounds.
• Developed copper nanoparticle/polysaccharide-immobilized cotton gauze for antimicrobial dressings.
• Evaluated the dressings on dermal wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus.
• Measured healing rates and infection control post-treatment.
• Demonstrated a significant reduction in wound healing time compared to standard dressings (p<0.01).
• Achieved effective control of Staphylococcus aureus infection (p<0.05).
• Improvement in wound closure rates by 30% within a week compared to conventional methods.
