Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The ultra-fine nano-scale three-dimensional network structure formed by the natural interweaving of bacterial cellulose has become a new research direction of new biomedical materials.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application of bacterial cellulose in the biomedicine by summarizing the original composition and multiform of bacterial cellulose as a nanomaterial.
METHODS: The keywords of “bacterial cellulose, tissue engineering, medical material, tensile strength” in Chinese and English were used to search CNKI, WanFang, PubMed and Medline databases for articles addressing the pro-vascularization of bacterial cellulose in wound repair. Then, the application of bacterial cellulose in wound repair was summarized, and the existing problems and prospects were also analyzed.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Bacterial cellulose secreted by the microorganism is of high purity and crystallinity. The nanofibers of bacterial cellulose form the porous network structure during static culture. It is considered as one of the ideal biomedical materials owing to its stable chemical structure, high water absorbency, good air permeability, great mechanical strength and biocompatibility. Especially in the field of wound repair, bacterial cellulose has been deeply studied and developed as the promising wound dressing, which is proven to promote tissue regeneration and accelerate wound healing.
