Abstract:

In order to study the feasibility and safety of the preparation of flexible metal electrodes for medical dressings, a flexible micro-current biomedical dressing was prepared, taking a polyester nonwoven fabric as the base fabric, by the screen printing technique, where zinc was used for the negative electrode and silver the positive. The effects of dispersant type, dispersant content and binder content on the electrical properties of the metal electrodes were discussed, and the possible cytotoxicity problems caused by the metal electrodes were studied. The results show that the screen printing technique made the silver and zinc micro-nano particles adhere to the fabric surface uniformly. 1% carboxy methyl cellulose sodium(CMC) and 0.5% Tween-80 are found to be the optimal condition for good dispersion of the zinc and silver particles. Waterborne acrylic emulsion with mass fraction of 5% and 15% enabled zinc and silver metal electrodes to have excellent electrical properties respectively. The metal electrodes show good cytocompatibility with 0.5%-1.0% metal content, which is suitable for biomedical dressings to provide exogenous micro-current for the wound.

Key words: medical dressings, flexible metal electrode, cytotoxicity, bioelectric dressings
