Application and prospects of bacterial cellulose in the medical and health field

Bacterial Cellulose ( BC ) is a natural polymer material synthesized by microorganisms such as the genus Aceticobacterium during the fermentation process. Compared with plant cellulose, it has high purity, nanofiber network structure, excellent biocompatibility and water retention , and shows unique advantages in the field of medical and health.

1. Medical advantages of bacterial cellulose

High purity : Free of lignin and hemicellulose to avoid allergies or rejection.

Nanonet structure : Three-dimensional porous mesh structure is conducive to cell adhesion and tissue regeneration.

High moisturizing properties : Keep the wound moist, promote the generation of granulation tissue, and accelerate wound healing.

High mechanical strength : soft and tough, can fit tightly into the wound and reduce secondary damage.

Controllable degradability : meets the dual needs of medical materials safety and environmental protection.

2. Typical applications in the medical field

Trauma dressing : used for difficult-to-healing wounds such as burns, chronic ulcers, and diabetic foot, speed up healing and reduce the risk of infection.

Artificial skin : Combined with functional materials such as collagen, it is used for severe burns and large-area skin repair.

Tissue-engineered scaffolds : Provides an ideal support structure for bone, cartilage and vascular regeneration.

Drug sustained-release carrier : As a local drug sustained-release system, it improves therapeutic effects and reduces side effects.
