Sol-gel/Ag coating and oxygen plasma treatment effect on synthetic wound fluid sorption by non-woven cellulose materialPeršin Fratnik, Zdenka (Avtor) Pivec, Tanja (Avtor) Mozetič, Miran (Avtor) Stana-Kleinschek, Karin (Avtor) non-woven cellulose fabricsol-geloxygen plasmaabsorptionsynthetic wound fluidsNon-woven cellulose material was functionalized using two techniques, i.e. the coating with AgCl via sol-gel and oxygen plasma. The treatment effects were studied regarding the wound fluid adsorption potential using physiological saline, synthetic exudate and synthetic blood. Plasma treatment was most efficient since a significant improvement by absorbency rate and capacity was evident, less pronounced in case of synthetic blood. The combination of both treatments showed a similar trend, while the effects were less prominent, but still sufficient by managing fluid-associated as well as infected wounds.20172017-08-31 14:47:04Znanstveno delo67848sl
