Classification and application of medical films in the medical industry:
Medical films are indispensable in the medical field. With their unique functions and characteristics, they provide strong support for surgery and wound care. When it comes to surgical films. Such films are widely used in surgical operations. Their main function is to cover the surgical area and prevent the surgical wound from being contaminated and invaded by microorganisms. Surgical films are usually highly transparent, which is convenient for doctors to clearly observe the surgical site during the operation. Moreover, their materials and designs enable the films to fit the skin tightly and maintain stable performance during the operation, ensuring that the entire operation is in a sterile environment. Then there are wound care films. Such films are particularly important in wound care. They are mainly used to protect wounds from the invasion of external bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, and can also prevent physical damage to the wound. Wound care films have good air permeability and moisture retention, and can provide a moist and comfortable healing environment for wounds. By using such films, the risk of wound infection can be reduced and the healing process of wounds can be accelerated.
The wide application of medical films, the types and performance of medical films are constantly developing and improving, which not only improves the efficiency and safety of medical work, but also brings better treatment experience to patients.
What does medical film use to achieve precision treatment?
Medical films mainly achieve precision treatment through 3D printing technology, continuous and precise drug release, biodegradation characteristics, and reduced recurrence rates. These characteristics make medical films show great potential and advantages in areas such as cancer treatment. 3D printing technology provides a highly personalized way to make medical films. For example, in the treatment of liver cancer, a research team at the University of Adelaide in Australia used 3D printing technology to customize films containing anticancer drugs according to the specific conditions of the patient. This film can be loaded with specific doses of anticancer drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and cisplatin (Cis), and directly act on the precise location after surgery. This technology can make the production of drug films more precise, and can customize the geometry of the film, the time curve of drug release, and the type and dose of active ingredients according to the specific needs of the patient, such as the size, location and type of tumor. In particular, 3D printed drug films can continuously release drugs for up to 23 days, effectively avoiding the need for secondary surgery and improving the humanization of treatment. Compared with traditional chemotherapy, this continuous and precise drug release method greatly reduces the impact on healthy cells, reduces the side effects of treatment, and improves the efficiency of drug use. By precisely delivering drugs to the surgical site, the medical film can effectively kill more than 80% of cancer cells and significantly reduce the recurrence rate of cancer.
