What Role Do Drug Delivery Systems Play in Smart Wound Dressings?
Nanotechnology enables the development of sophisticated drug delivery systems within smart wound dressings. These systems can deliver therapeutic agents directly to the wound site in a controlled manner. This localized delivery minimizes side effects and enhances the efficacy of the treatment. For instance, polymeric nanoparticles can release antibiotics or growth factors over an extended period, aiding in sustained wound healing.
