1. Foreword: Key nodes in the upgrading of medical materials

Bacterial Cellulose BC is gradually becoming an important cutting-edge material in the field of medical materials due to its high purity, ultra - flexible three-dimensional nanostructure and excellent biocompatibility. With the increasing demand for wound repair, tissue regeneration and biodegradable medical devices, BC has received widespread attention around the world.

As one of the earliest companies in China to deploy bio-based materials, Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. has long been engaged in the research and development of nanocellulose technology, and has accumulated stable technical advantages in the structural control of bacterial cellulose, fermentation processes and medical-grade material applications, providing a solid foundation for the large-scale application of BC in medicine.

2. Analysis of material properties of bacterial cellulose

1. High purity, non-irritating natural structure

BC is derived from microbial fermentation and does not contain impurities such as lignin and hemicellulose, which greatly reduces the risk of immune rejection and inflammation. It is an ideal basis for medical devices and tissue engineering materials.

2. ECM-like nanofiber network

The fiber diameter of 20–100 nm forms a three-dimensional network structure, which is highly similar to the human extracellular matrix and can promote the adhesion, growth and migration of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, etc.

3. Excellent moisturizing ability and high water content

BC can lock water to more than a hundred times its own weight, providing a constant humidity environment for the wound surface, reducing pain and increasing the healing speed.

4. Adjustable mechanical properties

Through fermentation condition control, cross-linking technology and physical and chemical modification, flexibility, strength, pore size and thickness can be precisely adjusted to adapt to different medical device specifications.

In this direction, Nanjing Tianlu Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. has established a mature controllable fermentation platform and material modification system to achieve flexible switching from gram-level research and development to ton-level applications.

3. Core application scenarios of bacterial cellulose in the medical field

1. Advanced wound dressing

BC can be used for:

Burn, trauma and surgical wound protection

Chronic ulcers (such as diabetic foot)

Sensitive skin care

Its high water content structure can lower the temperature of the wound surface, reduce inflammation, and have the dual effects of soothing and promoting healing.

2. Artificial skin and temporary tissue substitutes

Due to its strong ability to simulate bacterial cellulose ECM , can be used as a skin engineering scaffold material to provide a more natural microenvironment for cell growth, which is an important direction for the research and development of artificial skin.

3. Tissue engineering: replacement materials such as cartilage and blood vessels

After directional structural design, BC can exhibit biomechanical properties close to those of cartilage, blood vessels and other tissues. Some studies have entered the animal experiment stage and have shown good regeneration effects.

4. Drug controlled release carrier

The porous structure of BC can load antibacterial agents, analgesics, growth factors, etc. to achieve stable release, reduce the frequency of dressing changes, and improve treatment efficiency.

5. Medical antibacterial and hemostatic materials

By compounding with silver ions, chitosan, oxidants, etc., BC can be given antibacterial, blood-sucking and rapid hemostasis properties, making it suitable for surgery, first aid and high-risk wound environments.

6. Research and development direction of degradable medical materials

Through TEMPO oxidation, cross-linking regulation, etc., BC can show controllable degradation characteristics under certain conditions and is an important candidate material for future degradable implants.

4. Industrialization implementation: technical support from Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd.

As an enterprise specializing in the research and development of nanocellulose, bio-based materials and pharmaceutical intermediates, Nanjing Tianlu Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. has the following advantages in the field of bacterial cellulose medical applications:

1. Medical grade controllable fermentation production system

Through multi-parameter controlled platform fermentation technology, BC membrane materials with high purity and high structural consistency can be mass-produced, providing stable supply to medical device companies.

2. Advanced material modification and composite technology

Such as TEMPO oxidation enhancement, antibacterial composite, mechanical strengthening, etc., the material properties can be customized according to specific medical scenarios.

3. Complete quality management system and customer audit experience

Long-term service to domestic and foreign pharmaceutical and medical device customers, familiar with audit processes, regulatory requirements, and supply chain acceptance standards to ensure that products have traceability and stability for medical applications.

4. Joint development capabilities on the application side

It can carry out joint development with medical device companies, including dressings, artificial skin, functional diaphragms, etc., to provide material solutions and technical support for downstream companies.

5. Future Outlook: Towards the Next Generation of Medical Materials Platform

With the rapid development of wound management, tissue repair and degradable medical devices, bacterial cellulose will play a more important role in the medical field:

A safer base of natural materials

More adjustable structure and performance

Greater biocompatibility

More suitable for functional compounding

Easier entry into sustainable medical materials system

Nanjing Tianlu Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. will continue to increase its R&D investment in the field of bio-based materials and nanocellulose, promote the application of bacterial cellulose in a wider range of medical scenarios, and help the industry develop towards higher-performance, safer, and more environmentally friendly medical materials.
