US Patent Granted For A Novel Herbal Dressing


Patent No.:
US 10, 076, 552 B2
Date of the Patent Granted: Sep. 18, 2018
Title of the Patent: MULTIFUNCTIONAL FORMULATION COMPRISED OF NATURAL INGREDIENTS AND METHOD OF PREPARATION MANUFACTURING THEREOF

What is Wound Healing & need of the Invention:
Wound Healing is a complex process in which the injured tissue is repaired & regenerated and new tissues are formed. The whole process involves three different phases: inflammation, proliferative and remodeling. Each of these phases is controlled and regulated by biologically active substances called growth factors.

These growth factors are hormone-like molecules that interact with specific cell surface receptors to control the process of tissue repair. The research shows that re-epithelialization is enhanced by the presence of occlusive wound dressings which maintain a moisture barrier.

There are different treatment modalities available for the treatment of wounds and ulcers ranging from antibiotics, occlusive layers, bandages, poultices, mechanical devices that reduce evaporation of water and many others.

The major drawback of these treatment methods is that they enhance wound healing by supporting the body mechanisms to heal the wound. If the patient will have compromised immunity or other body functions that may not work optimally, wound healing will not take place or will be delayed. This may limit the mobility of the patient and lower the quality of life.

There is a need of the treatment method which could actively regenerate the skin, dermis and epidermis. We @ Datt Mediproducts have developed an innovative herbal based antimicrobial dressing which reduce the microflora in wounds and actively promotes healing by stimulating stem cells that are present even in deep wounds and enhance the migration of fibroblast and keratinocytes and secretion of growth factors.

ABOUT THE INVENTION:
The invention involves polymer chemistry and herbal formulation preparation for the treatment of compromised tissues like infected wounds, burn wounds and ulcers in both humans and animals. It is used as a topical device for a range of indications including anti – cancer transdermal patch for melanoma therapy, superbugs infected tropical wounds and multiple sclerosis also.

The invention is composed of a water solubilized nano-sized formulation of a non-aqueous extract of phyto-pharmaceuticals, animal or synthetic biocompatible gel or on matrix coated or both.

 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention provides a wound healing matrix comprising of a variety of natural ingredients, all working together in a synergistic way to promote wound healing by stimulating the stem cells. Stem cells have a great potential of cell division and are ultimately responsible for the homeostasis of steady state tissues.

Stem cells are normally slow cycling. However, there proliferation can be stimulated by certain growth factors. For example, cytokines such as Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) and Interleukin-1 (IL-1) are believed to be useful.

The present invention consists of different herbs and synthetic biopolymers which are helpful in relieving pain, providing a soothing effect, and healing the wounds upon repeated use by providing a moist healing environment and stimulating the stem cells to regenerate the lost tissues.

The transdermal patch formulated with phytopharmaceutical preparation is intended for transdermal delivery system preferably for cancer therapy either individually or the combination.

Advantages of the Invention:

  • It provides a multi-purpose wound healing matrix with a bandage for compromised tissues viz. skin having wounds or melanoma.
  • Enhanced bioavailability of its individual components, working together in a synergistic way.
  • Another promising advantage of this phytopharmaceutical invention is that it displays minimal side effects in clinical applications of the drug.
  • Since the components in the formulation are from herbal / natural resources, it is very safe and eco – friendly and does not produce any adverse effect on the skin.

Wound Care for Cancer Patients

Cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, are essential for combating the disease but often pose significant challenges to wound healing. Understanding these impacts and managing wounds effectively is crucial for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. This blog provides insights and recommendations for effective wound care in cancer patients.

Impact of Cancer Treatments on Wound Healing:

Chemotherapy and radiation therapy, while targeting cancer cells, also damage healthy tissues especially rapidly dividing Keratinocytes along with Fibroblasts, Melanocytes, Endothelial cells & Immune cells, delaying wound healing. Surgery can result in complex wounds needing specialized care.

Common Wounds in Cancer Patients:

Cancer patients may have surgical wounds, radiation-induced skin reactions, and wounds from intravenous catheter sites. Advanced cancer patients may develop pressure ulcers due to immobility.

Managing Radiation-Induced Skin Reactions:

Radiation therapy can cause skin reactions from mild redness to severe ulceration. Management includes gentle skin care, prescribed topical treatments, avoiding sun exposure, and wearing loose clothing.

Chemotherapy and Wound Healing:

Chemotherapy reduces the immune response and interferes with cellular repair, impairing wound healing. Patients should be monitored for infection and delayed healing, with an emphasis on optimal nutrition and hydration.

Post-Surgical Wound Care:

Proper care involves keeping wounds clean and dry, changing dressings regularly, using sterile dressings and monitoring for any signs of infection. Adhering to healthcare provider instructions is essential.

Infection Prevention:

Strict hygiene practices, sterile wound care products, and prompt treatment of infection signs are crucial, as cancer patients often have compromised immune systems.

Tailoring Wound Care Products:

Sensitive skin due to cancer treatments requires hypoallergenic dressings, silicone-based products, and gentle adhesives to minimize irritation.

Nutritional Support:

A diet rich in protein, water, minerals, vitamins A and C, and zinc supports tissue repair and immune function. Collaboration with a dietitian ensures adequate nutrient intake as nutrition goals differ as per the cancer type, its stage and other medical conditions.

Pain Management:

Effective pain management in cancer patients includes a combination of medications such as analgesics, topical anesthetics, and non-pharmacological methods like relaxation techniques, gentle massage, acupuncture, cognitive therapy etc.

Psychological Support:

Emotional support, counselling, and mental health services help patients cope with cancer and its treatments, contributing to better wound healing.

Multidisciplinary Care Teams:

Collaboration among oncologists, wound care specialists, nurses, dietitians, and mental health professionals ensures comprehensive care tailored to patient’s needs.

Caregiver Recommendations:

Caregivers should maintain a clean environment, follow wound care protocols, ensure proper nutrition, provide emotional support, and recognize infection signs.

Effective wound care for cancer patients requires a holistic approach, addressing the unique challenges posed by cancer treatments. By understanding the impacts of these treatments on wound healing and implementing comprehensive care strategies, we can significantly improve patients’ quality of life and recovery outcomes. Through multidisciplinary collaboration, meticulous care, and robust support systems, we can navigate the complexities of wound care in cancer treatment and ensure optimal healing.

Seasonal Wound Care

As the seasons change, so do the challenges faced by those managing wounds. Whether you’re a healthcare professional or a wound care patient, understanding how weather conditions can impact wound healing is crucial for maintaining optimal recovery. Let’s explore the importance of seasonal wound care and how to adjust your routine for different weather conditions.

Importance of Seasonal Wound Care:

Wound healing is a complex process influenced by various factors, including temperature, humidity, and moisture levels. Different weather conditions can affect this process, potentially slowing down or complicating recovery.

Effects of Hot Weather on Wound Healing:

During the summer months, hot weather can increase perspiration, leading to moisture buildup around wounds. This excess moisture creates an ideal environment for bacterial growth, increasing the risk of infections. To combat this, it’s essential to keep wounds clean and dry, regularly changing dressings to prevent maceration.

Adjusting Wound Care Routine for Summer:

In hot weather, it’s crucial to opt for breathable dressings that allow airflow to the wound while absorbing excess moisture. Consider using moisture-wicking fabrics to minimize sweat buildup and prevent skin irritation.

Managing Increased Perspiration:

To manage increased perspiration, gently cleanse the area around the wound with a mild soap and water solution. Pat the skin dry thoroughly before applying a new dressing. Avoid using harsh antiseptic solutions, as they can irritate the skin and delay healing.

Preventing Infections from Heat and Humidity:

To prevent infections in hot and humid conditions, keep the wound site clean and protected. Change dressings more frequently if necessary, and monitor for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or increased pain.

Effects of Cold Weather on Wound Healing:

In colder climates, dry air and low temperatures can lead to skin dryness and cracking, posing challenges for wound care. Protecting the wound from exposure to cold air and keeping the surrounding skin moisturized are essential for promoting healing.

Protecting Wounds from Dryness and Cracking:

During the winter months, use emollient-rich moisturizers to keep the skin hydrated and prevent dryness and cracking. Choose dressings that provide a barrier against cold air while maintaining moisture balance.

Tips for Wound Care During Rainy Seasons:

In rainy seasons, preventing wound maceration is key. Ensure that dressings are waterproof and change them promptly if they become wet. Keep the wound site clean and dry to minimize the risk of infection.

Adapting Wound Care Products to Seasonal Changes:

Consider using specialized wound care products designed for specific weather conditions. Look for options that offer moisture control, antimicrobial properties, and protection against environmental factors.

By understanding the impact of seasonal changes on wound healing and adjusting your care routine accordingly, you can promote optimal recovery and minimize complications. Stay proactive, stay informed, and prioritize your wound care, regardless of the weather.
