Body‐integrated photonic biosensors: Illuminating the path to active healthcare

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Body‐integrated photonic biosensors are promising tools for active healthcare. These optical devices can be worn, implanted, or swallowed to monitor health signals continuously. This review introduces key sensing modalities, including fluorescence, colorimetry, SPR, LSPR, SERS, and light‐modulating materials.

Update on Tissue-Engineered Biological Dressings

Tissue Engineering, 2006
Tissue-engineered biological dressings offer promise in the treatment of burns, chronic ulcers, donor site and other surgical wounds, and a variety of blistering and desquamating dermatologic conditions. For example, the prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers ranges from 4.4% to 10.5% of diabetics, resulting in 82,000 lower extremity amputations annually ...

Quantitative comparison of biological dressings

Journal of Surgical Research, 1973
Abstract A new animal model has been developed to compare simultaneously the effect of various “biological” dressings on the bacterial count in contaminated wounds. Using this model, amniotic membranes proved superior to allograft and xenograft skin in decreasing the bacterial counts in wounds contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa .

Biological Dressings in Burns—A Review

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1980
A history of the development of the various biological dressings is presented. Substances currently in use--homografts, heterografts (including amniotic membranes), collagen-based dressings, and synthetic films--are reviewed in terms of their indications for use, method of application, future, and advantages and disadvantages.

Antimicrobial properties of antiseptic-impregnated biological dressings

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1988
Three antiseptics--chlorhexidine acetate, silver nitrate and povidone-iodine--were incorporated into biological dressings (human skin and amnio-chorion) and evaluated in vitro against disparate micro-organisms. Results indicated that antimicrobial levels of chlorhexidine and silver were released from the dressings over a clinically relevant time period,
