Query: Nanomaterials decoration on commercial cotton bandages for pain and
  infection management   Cotton gauze bandages (CGB) are one of the most widely used wound dressing
materials. These bandages are placed over a wound site to keep it clean and
facilitate the healing process. However, it is used along with antibacterial
agents (ointment) to prevent post-dressing infections. Further, other
medications have to be orally administered for managing pain and wound healing.
Therefore, in the current work, nanomaterials having drug releasing and
antibacterial properties is coated onto the cotton gauze bandage to minimize
the local pain and post-dressing infections at a wound site. We fabricated
diclofenac sodium (an anti-inflammatory drug) loaded biodegradable,
polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers mat through electrospinning and deposited it
over the surface of a CGB that was initially coated by chitosan and decorated
with ZnO nanoparticles. Chitosan coating over the CGB provides the
antibacterial properties while the drug loaded nanofibers mat releases
diclofenac sodium under a simulated drug release condition. In addition, the
decorated ZnO nanoparticles have ultra violet radiation blocking properties.
The modified bandage was characterised by SEM, EDAX, DSC, UV spectroscopy, and
FTIR. The antibacterial property of the bandage was evaluated through zone of
inhibition test during the anti-bacterial study. Thereafter, drug release and
degradation studies revealed the modified bandage could provide sustained drug
release for 15 days, perhaps through surface erosion and later bulk degradation
mechanism. Thus, the nanomaterials decorated CGB can be a better alternative to
native CGB for wound dressing applications.
