Biodegradable wound dressing film developed: IIT Guwahati team

IIT Guwahati researchers claim to have developed a biodegradable and low-cost composite transparent wound dressing film. It's non-toxic in nature and will create a moist environment that would enable the body to heal on its own through endogenous enzymes. It has the potential to "prevent bacterial invention even after it gets swelled under a hydrolytic environment and loses its occlusivity".
