Marine Extract Wound Dressing for Scar Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Refractory wounds, which fail to show improvement within two to four weeks, often result in hypertrophic scars that cause discomfort and reduce quality of life, and existing treatments do not effectively facilitate healing or improve skin appearance post-healing.
Innovation Solution
A product comprising a marine extract formulation, including bivalve and echinoderm extracts, combined with a collagen substrate and dressing, applied to the wound to promote healing and improve skin appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional wound treatments are used, then basic wound care is provided, but refractory wounds fail to heal and hypertrophic scars form
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by combining marine extracts (containing growth factors and bioactive compounds) with collagen substrate and dressing materials to create a multifunctional wound treatment composition that simultaneously promotes healing and prevents scar formation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the chemical and biological parameters of the wound environment by introducing marine extract formulations with specific growth factors, cytokines, and bioactive molecules that alter the wound healing trajectory from scar formation to regenerative healing
2Productivity
If wound healing is accelerated, then treatment time is reduced, but skin appearance post-healing may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the biological parameters of wound healing by introducing marine extract formulations containing growth factors and bioactive compounds that simultaneously accelerate healing speed and improve skin appearance through regenerative processes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite materials combining marine extracts with collagen substrate to create a formulation that provides both rapid healing acceleration and optimal skin appearance outcomes through synergistic components
