The invention discloses a method for preparing a
wound dressing from human hair, which comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out hydrophilic modification on the human hair to enable the human hair to easily absorb water and be easily biodegraded, then pouring the human hair into a mold for
drying or freeze-
drying to obtain a membrane or porous
sponge with a required shape and size, and finally, preparing nano-
silver particles by adopting an in-situ method in an adhesion manner. The prepared
wound dressing is good in
biocompatibility, capable of stopping bleeding quickly and antibacterial. The human
hair keratin is free of
immunogenicity, rich in
raw material source, low in cost, capable of being industrially produced and applied on a large scale, good in
cell compatibility and capable of stopping bleeding, and a method for preparing nano-silver in situ through an adhesion method is simple. By means of the method, an ideal
wound dressing can be obtained. The human
hair keratin porous
sponge and film prepared by the method provided by the invention adsorb wound blood through the porous structure to form a blood coagulation net rack, can quickly stop bleeding, has the characteristics of no
antigenicity, good
biocompatibility, degradability, stimulation of
cell division and promotion of healing, and belongs to the porous
sponge and film which can be implanted into a
human body and can be used for quickly stopping bleeding. The biological
scaffold material has the advantages of good
biocompatibility, good
histocompatibility, capability of inducing the formation of autologous tissues, and capability of being degraded and absorbed in the body, and has obvious progress compared with the existing medical material.
