Project financing
The FENG.02.02-IP.05-0180/24 project is carried out within the FIRST TEAM programme of the Foundation for Polish Science co-financed by the European Union under the European Funds for Smart Economy 2021-2027 (FENG).
About the project
The aim of the project is to develop an innovative, modular, and partially bioresorbable wound filler for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) based on natural biopolymers, addressing the clinical limitations of conventional polyurethane dressings. The proposed system aims to enhance tissue regeneration, prevent excessive granulation, and facilitate wound access and monitoring. We will integrate cutting-edge computational design and advanced manufacturing techniques, including High-throughput hydrogel screening, Machine learning-assisted material optimization, and Microfluidic platforms for precise control of porous architecture. This synergistic approach will enable the creation of tailored, multifunctional wound dressings that align with clinical requirements and sustainability goals.
