The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of a portable electrospinning device for the application of wound dressings.

Four polymer nanofibers dressings were applied on superficial partial thickness wounds to a porcine model and compared with a traditional paraffin tulle gras dressing.

 

The polymer nanofibrous dressings were applied using a handheld portable electrospinning device activated at a short distance from the wound.

 

The partial thickness donor sites were evaluated on day 2, 7, and 14 when dressings were removed and tissue samples were taken for histological examination.
