The experimental-industrial technology of synthesizing nanostructured graphite by graphite fluoration by iodine heptafluoride and thermal decomposition of fluorinated graphite intercalated compounds has been developed. The experimental process installation was developed, the test batches of nano-structured graphite with high area of specific surface and adsorption capacity were produced; they were tested as a sorbing agent in bandaging medical materials.
The marketing research has been made to find out the outlooks for commercial activities and market entry for the graphitebased adsorbent dressing. The bandage market increase is caused by the wide application, growing requirement and low price. Domestic cheap ineffective bulky dressings prevail on the market but last years the tendency to the gain in sales of innovative, expensive and effective in treatment import bandages is being observed. The new graphite-based adsorbent dressing has good market prospects in connection with the segment increase, low business competition and high demand of modern effective bandages with adsorbent, wound healing and atraumatic properties.
The purpose of our experimental investigation was the development of new surgical approach to the removal of bone-arterial defects of more than 3 cm in associated gunshot bone-arterial injuries of the extremities is presented in the article. The approach developed by us showed definite efficacy and perspectives of using nanostructural thermo-broadened graphite as a basic component of the adsorbing bandage.
The infectious complications of injuries and wounds are the actual problem of surgery. One of the most important tasks for today is the investigation of new remedies to prevent from the infectious process and to accelerate purifying processes from necrotic tissues in the wound and to intensify the wound regeneration. In this connection, to guarantee sorbing, antimicrobic, necrolitic and anesthetic protective actions is necessary to develop the first stage wound process bandage. As a result of the doctors’ and scientists’ team-work investigation a new dressing model for treating exuding wounds has been made. In the experiment this adsorbing bandage with the sorption level based on graphite particles (thermo broadened form of fluorinated graphite intercalated compound) has shown the high wound healing and drainage activity in treating associated gunshot bone-arterial injuries of extremities.
