A recent study conducted at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology in Bangkok, Thailand, has found that antimicrobial surgical suture materials incorporating chloroxylenol-carboxyethylchitosan-modified silver nanoparticles (CECSX-AgNPs) can enhance surgical suture performance. The researchers successfully prepared these materials using the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) deposition technique. The CECSX-AgNPs coated surgical sutures exhibited a high bacterial reduction of 99.99%, highlighting their efficacy as a stabilizing agent for AgNPs production and their potential to promote the wound healing process. This research was supported by the National Science, Research and Innovation Fund (NSRF). [Extracted from the article] |
