Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the fields of biomedicine and medical device technology, and in particular to a smart band-aid and a preparation method thereof, textiles and wearable devices. Background Art

[0002] Impaired healing of chronic wounds not only affects the quality of life of patients, but also incurs high treatment costs. According to the latest data from the World Health Organization, more than 40 million people suffer from chronic wounds worldwide, which cause long-term physical and mental pain to patients and lead to a rapidly increasing global economic burden. In recent years, research on wound dressings has developed rapidly, providing new solutions for advanced wound care. For example, traditional gauze dressings have been developed into hydrogel dressings with controlled drug release functions, which can effectively deliver drugs while reducing the need for frequent replacement. In addition, wearable wound dressings can provide electrical stimulation to chronic wounds, providing a new strategy to accelerate wound healing. A variety of methods using antibiotic drugs, near-infrared photothermal therapy, temperature-activated motor synergy therapy and other technologies have emerged to prevent wound infection and promote wound healing, and have great potential in assisting the treatment of chronic wounds. However, none of these wound dressings with drug release or stimulation therapy functions can clean and remove wound exudate, resulting in the accumulation of wound exudate on the wound surface for a long time, hindering the wound healing process.

[0003] Based on this, a band-aid that can automatically drain liquid has been developed. The band-aid can be used to remove excess exudate around the wound, promote wound cleaning and drying, and accelerate the wound healing process. For example, by electrospinning a hydrophobic nanofiber array onto a hydrophilic microfiber network, excess biological fluids can be unidirectionally moved away from the wound; and a single-layer Janus membrane was prepared on a copper mesh by ammonia-alkali etching, superhydrophobic modification, and single-sided hydrophilic treatment. The membrane enhances the air permeability of the dressing and significantly reduces the critical breakthrough pressure of unidirectional water delivery. However, these automatic drainage band-aids make it difficult to assess the wound healing status, which hinders timely wound management and timely dressing changes. In addition, the prior art also provides a multifunctional Janus membrane that integrates phenol red nanoparticles and can unidirectionally remove wound exudate while sensing the pH level of the wound; and a pH-responsive cellulose-based Janus nonwoven dressing that has unidirectional liquid drainage capabilities and is used for chronic wound management. Although both the Janus membrane and the Janus nonwoven dressing can estimate the wound microenvironment by on-site colorimetry, they are basically designed for single use and lack the ability to dynamically sense the microenvironment around the wound, making it difficult to dynamically reflect the state of the wound. Summary of the invention

[0137] Example 1

[0138] This embodiment provides a smart wound dressing.

[0139] The smart wound dressing of this embodiment is prepared by the following method, as shown in FIG3 :

[0140] S1. Select polyethersulfone (PES), use N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) to dissolve polyethersulfone (PES), and prepare a 14% PES film solution.

[0141] Sodium chloride was added to the PES film solution and stirred to make the sodium chloride evenly distributed in the PES film solution. The PES film solution was used to prepare a polyethersulfone film through a hot pressing and stretching process, and the film was placed in a vacuum drying oven and dried at 60° C. for 45 min to prepare a polyethersulfone film.

[0142] Subsequently, ultraviolet light grafting surface treatment is performed to increase hydroxyl groups and improve the hydrophilicity of the polyethersulfone film, thereby improving the hydrophilicity of the polyethersulfone film and preparing a super hydrophilic film 1. The thickness of the super hydrophilic film 1 is 80 μm.

[0143] S21, fix the customized electrochemical sensing pattern on the surface of the super-hydrophilic film 1 by screen printing using conductive carbon paste and conductive silver paste to form a sensor substrate. The customized electrochemical sensing pattern is a three-electrode sensing system pattern, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the three-electrode sensing system includes a reference electrode 23, a counter electrode 21 and a working electrode 22. The reference electrode 23 and the counter electrode 21 are shared, wherein the counter electrode 21 and the working electrode 22 are transferred using carbon paste, the reference electrode 23 is transferred using silver chloride paste, and the electrode wires are connected using silver paste.

[0144] S22, using the electrodeposition method to modify the polyaniline network on the surface of the working electrode 22 to form an electrode interface for dynamic monitoring of the pH value of the sample to be tested. Graphene is used to modify the interface of the electrode 21 to promote electron transfer in the electrochemical reaction.

[0145] S3. Dissolve the polyurethane TPU polymer material with acetone to obtain a second film solution, wherein the TPU concentration in the second film solution is 12.5%.

[0146] A single-layer hydrophobic film 3 was obtained by electrospinning the second film solution for 1 min. The electrospinning voltage was 15 kV, the rate was 1.5 mL / h, and the thickness of the hydrophobic film 3 was 100 nm. The hydrophobic film 3 was prepared on the super hydrophilic film 1 to encapsulate the electrochemical sensor 2.

[0147] Referring to FIG. 4 , FIG. 4 is a structure of the smart band-aid prepared in this embodiment, including a super-hydrophilic film 1, an electrochemical sensor 2, and a hydrophobic film 3. The electrochemical sensor 2 is connected to the super-hydrophilic film 1. The hydrophobic film 3 is stacked and connected with the super-hydrophilic film 1 to realize the encapsulation of the electrochemical sensor 2. Referring to FIG. 5 , FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional microscopic topological structure diagram of the smart band-aid of this embodiment. FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are respectively the physical image and microscopic topological structure diagram of the smart band-aid of this embodiment. It can be seen from FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 that the processed smart band-aid has good flexibility, can be bent freely under the premise of ensuring the integrity of the electrode structure, and has the potential to be worn; in addition, the thickness of the smart band-aid is about 100 μm, which is mainly composed of a porous super-hydrophilic film 1 and a single-layer hydrophobic film 3 formed by electrospinning, and has good air permeability, which is conducive to the air permeability and healing of the wound after bandaging.

[0148] Phosphate buffer was used to simulate wound exudate. By dropping 1 μL of phosphate buffer onto the surface of the hydrophobic film 3 of the smart band-aid, the process of the smart band-aid quickly draining out wound exudate was simulated. As shown in Figure 6, the droplet dripped on the front of the smart band-aid first showed a contact angle greater than 90°, proving the hydrophobicity of the hydrophobic film 3. Then, the droplet gradually entered the underlying superhydrophilic film 1 under the action of the asymmetric wettability of the smart band-aid, and was finally completely drained out at 4 s without remaining on the surface of the hydrophobic film 3 of the smart band-aid, verifying that the smart band-aid has the ability to quickly drain wound exudate from the wound surface to the outside of the band-aid.

[0149] 1 μL of 10 mM potassium ferrocyanide solution was dripped onto the surface of the hydrophobic film 3 of the smart bandage, and the cyclic voltammetry curve of the electrochemical sensor 2 was collected during the process of the potassium ferrocyanide solution being led from the hydrophobic film 3 of the smart bandage to the superhydrophilic film 1. As shown in FIG7 , the cyclic voltammetry curve has symmetrical redox peaks, proving that the integrated electrochemical sensor 2 has excellent sensing capability and can complete the analysis and detection of the sample to be tested during the dynamic process of fluid lead-out.

[0150] 1 μL of phosphate buffer with different pH values ​​was continuously added to the surface of the hydrophobic film 3 of the smart bandage to simulate wound exudate under different wound conditions, and the open circuit voltage-time curve (OCPT) of the electrochemical sensor 2 was continuously recorded, as shown in Figures 8 and 9. The detection range of the pH sensing module of the smart bandage is as wide as 4-10, covering the possible pH range of normal wounds and infected wound microenvironments, and the detection sensitivity and repeatability are high. It can continuously and dynamically perform pH detection of the sample to be tested, which can meet the needs of the smart bandage for long-term care of chronic wounds.

[0151] In summary, the smart bandage of the present application is based on the asymmetric wettability of the Janus film, and uses the capillary effect and osmotic pressure to drive the wound exudate to be directional from the hydrophilic surface to the hydrophobic surface, while avoiding the backflow of external fluid, forming a smart bandage that can quickly clean the wound exudate; the present application uses modular transfer technology to complete the preparation of electrochemical biosensors on the super-hydrophilic film 1, and realizes the synchronous dynamic monitoring of multiple targets of the wound microenvironment through the design and modification of different sensing units, thereby forming a smart bandage that can quickly clean wound exudate, dynamically monitor the wound microenvironment with multiple targets, and prompt wound infection in real time, assisting the long-term management of chronic wounds. By integrating it with textile technology, sports textiles for dynamic monitoring of perspiration and sweat metabolites can be prepared, or it can be prepared into wearable devices, which can provide new possibilities for athlete status detection, home monitoring and management of metabolite levels, and early diagnosis of chronic diseases.
