broader application. initially this material was meant to filter water purifier from microorganisms viruses and bacteria which is an important issue. the material was developed quite successfully only after that an idea emerged that could address a major problem facing clinical medicine you could even say it's a problem facing all of humankind and that's the developing resistance of microorganisms. so how can this substance help rework in bandages known as it can remove infections caused by harmful bacteria without requiring any medication applied widely disc it helps slow the trend of increased resistance to such drugs as well as offering a solution for patients like this man whose condition would otherwise be very tough

to treat. when he came in we observed a fourth degree burn. at the base of the skull with a significant lesion. cultures from the wound we discovered an infection of purer than bacillus one of the most virulent pathogens hardly susceptible to and to big serial treatment like antibiotics using this material we saw the wound cleared up rather quickly and that the cleaning period roughly coincided with the formation of new granular tissue as a result our patients despite the serious lesions instead of the usual one hundred fifty to one hundred eighty days of active treatment was something this serious recovered in just eighty days. composed of. fabric layers this secret to their success lies in the absorbent microfiber layer between these microfiber tiny crumpled balls.

dusted on the layer. the key to the materials effectiveness is the positive charge these microscopic particles are packing when applied to a potential source of infection or harmful bacteria electrostatic forces attract negatively charged microbes to the absorbent layer of the dressings locking them down in never letting go. but there are currently no in terms of functionality as a rule the septic material is toxic to the infection placed on its surface in our case it simply extracts microorganisms bodices and bacteria from the infected areas whether the wound is or caught some sort of look and it does not matter whether the microorganisms resistant to antibiotics or not. while the food is pain a vivid picture of the view of alice dressing in action that actual lifting of the microbes is still easier seen in the institute's laboratories where we witnessed
