Recent Developments in the Film Dressings Market

In May 2022, The Technical University of Munich (TUM) researchers engineered a film that not only would provide wound protection akin to a bandage but would also accelerate wound healing. This innovative film repels bacteria, mitigates inflammation, releases pharmaceutical ingredients precisely, and ultimately self-dissolves.
In September 2021, United Soft Plastics partnered with a startup based in Denmark to create an extruded TPE film for a medical device. This innovation would enhance patient comfort and offer bacterial protection in wound-dressing applications.
In August 2021, Researchers at IIT Guwahati developed an affordable, biodegradable composite wound-dressing film with transparency. This material, composed of a synthetic polymer blend, is inherently non-toxic and fosters a moist environment conducive to natural healing through endogenous enzymes, as indicated by recent studies.
