Russian scientists have developed a drug-free method of healing
wounds that may prove as revolutionary as the discovery of penicillin.
The miracle nano-dressing, VitaVallis, created by researchers in
Tomsk, Siberia, helps clean up wounds of all known types of toxic bacteria.
- It does not get stuck to the wound and heals burns, cuts and any septic and infected wounds two to three times faster than traditional methods do.
- The dressing stops bleeding, ends inflammation, eliminates swellings and stimulates skin regeneration.
- It also helps kill pain and remove foul wound odour.
The most remarkable thing about VitaVallis is that it contains no
antibiotics and is therefore effective against drug-resistant bacteria, the
gnawing problem of clinical medicine.
During hospital trials the new dressing cured a 4th-degree massive
burn with ghastly-looking lesions at the back of a young man's head within 80
days, against 150 to 180 days normally required to heal such wounds.
The new method was developed at the junction of physics and
medicine.
- It is based on the long-known fact that pathological bacteria typically carry a negative electric charge. Siberian researchers figured that positively charged material should be able to extract bacteria from wounds.
- The secret of the VitaVallis antiseptic dressing is the positively charged nanosized alumina fibre which drags negatively charged microbes and lock them down in the absorbing layer.
- The method works with all types of pathological microorganisms and it does not matter whether they are resistant to antibiotics or not.
- . Interestingly, the technology was first developed for innovative water filters that dramatically improve the efficiency and speed of cleaning biologically contaminated water. The creators of AquaVallis filters claim it is the world's first water system that guarantees 100-per-cent protection from viruses, bacteria and parasites and does not require any additional disinfection.
In the 21st century when more people die from sepsis infections
than from strokes and heart attacks, the VitaVallis technology may prove just as
ground breaking in saving lives and revolutionising healthcare as the discovery
of penicillin was in the 20th century.
Aquelite, the company set up in Tomsk to commercialise the new
technology, has recently launched the first production line and plans to expand
the output from the current from million to 100 million nano-dressings next
year.
