Overview

Experimental analysis demonstrates two-stage lidocaine release from transparent bacterial cellulose films, suggesting viable biomaterial platforms for wound care.

Key Points

  • Lidocaine delivery from transparent bacterial cellulose films exhibited a 24.6% initial fast release, reaching a 27.2% cumulative drug release during testing.
  • In situ culture of a yeast and bacteria co-culture on black tea and white sugar for three days synthesized bacterial cellulose, followed by sterilization with gamma radiation.
  • Supports the design of transparent wound dressings with high thermal stability, facilitating robust storage and targeted drug delivery during routine clinical transportation.
