What is the future development direction of the industry - new medical excipients?
The new medical excipients are developed based on the theory of moist healing, which can keep wounds moist and promote the development of this product due to two factors. That is to say, the medical community's understanding of the wound healing treatment process and the continuous development of material technology.

Typical new medical accessories include transparent film dressing, hydrocolloid dressing, Chaoshan salt dressing, foam (sponge) dressing, soft silicon dressing, silver ion dressing, lipid hydrocolloid dressing, carbon containing dressing, and gel. New medical dressings can shorten wound healing time, reduce the amount of medical dressings, greatly shorten nursing time, and meet the needs of patients. The new medical dressings have characteristics that traditional dressings cannot match, such as fast efficacy and good results. Therefore, the new medical dressings will have a larger application market.

From a global perspective, traditional medical dressings such as cotton and gauze still account for over 50% of all medical dressings. However, in recent years, the growth of traditional medical dressings has been slow, while new types of medical dressings have rapidly increased.

In the long run, traditional fabrics such as gauze and bandages consume a large amount of cotton, but their production efficiency is not high, their added value is low, their profit margin is small, and their product growth ability is limited. Developing new types of hot compress products with independent intellectual property rights is the development direction of China's medical hot compress industry.

What are hydrocolloid dressings for medical excipients?

Its main components include highly hydrophilic colloidal carboxymethyl cellulose sodium particles (CMC), hypoallergenic medical adhesives and elastomers, plasticizers, etc., which together form the main body of the evaporator. Its surface is a semi permeable polymer film structure. This kind of dressing absorbs the permeate after contacting with the wound penetrant to form gel, so that the dressing does not stick to the wound. On the other hand, the semi permeable membrane structure on the surface can exchange oxygen and water vapor, but it has barrier properties against external particulate foreign objects such as dust and bacteria.

Advantages:

1. Can absorb wound exudate and some toxic substances.

In addition to keeping the wound moist and preserving the bioactive substances released by the wound itself, providing a good microenvironment for wound healing, it can also accelerate the wound healing process.

3. Clear creative use.

4. Form gel to protect exposed nerve endings, relieve pain, and prevent mechanical injury again when changing dressing.

5. Magnetic viscosity, easy to use.

6. Good compliance, comfortable for users, and a discreet appearance.

7. Block external granular foreign objects (such as dust and bacterial invasion), reduce the frequency of dressing changes, and reduce the labor intensity of nursing staff.

Improving wound healing speed can save costs

Disadvantages:

1. Due to its weak absorption capacity, other auxiliary dressings are often needed to improve absorption performance for high exudate wounds

2. The product cost is high.

3. Individual patients may be allergic to the ingredients

This can be said to be an ideal hot compress. Based on decades of clinical experience abroad, colloidal hot compress has a particularly significant effect on chronic wounds.
