Iran develops nanofiber wound dressing with oak extract
Tannin-powered nanofiber bandages promote tissue regeneration
A team of researchers from Razi University have developed an advanced nanofiber wound dressing infused with oak fruit extract, offering a potential breakthrough in burn and injury treatment. The team aims to address the limitations of conventional wound care, including antibiotic resistance and scarring.
The new nanofiber dressing, made from polycaprolactone, provides a protective barrier while promoting faster healing, as reported by IRNA, a partner of TV BRICS. The oak extract’s tannins, flavonoids, and antioxidants reduce inflammation and stimulate tissue regeneration.
According to the researchers, this innovation aligns with global trends in medical nanotechnology. The team also highlighted the importance of utilising Iran’s medicinal plants and advancing nanofibre technology in healthcare.

Joao Paulo CapobiancoBrazilian Minister of the Environment and Climate Change"The BRICS countries have a very high level of responsibility because they share an important part of the world's biodiversity, landscapes, populations, food production and water resources. So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification"
