  1. BIOPATCH IN FUTIURE VISION

  2. BIOPATCH : A "biopatch" typically refers to a patch infused with various agents or elements to promote healing, reduce infection, or achieve some other therapeutic goal when applied to the skin or another tissue.

  3. USES OF BIOPATCH : Antimicrobial Biopatch*: One of the most common applications of biopatches is in antimicrobial care. For instance, there's the "Biopatch Protective Disk with CHG," which contains chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) to reduce the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections. Tissue Engineering*: Biopatches can serve as scaffolds in tissue engineering, supporting the growth and differentiation of cells in the body.

  4. Wound Healing*: Biopatches can be infused with growth factors, nutrients, and other substances to promote wound healing. They can act as a protective barrier and provide a conducive environment for tissue regeneration. Drug Delivery*: Some biopatches can provide a controlled release of medication over time when applied to the skin, offering an alternative to oral medication or injections.

  5. Challenges and Research*: While biopatches offer many potential benefits, there are challenges to consider, such as ensuring that the patch adheres well to the tissue, determining the optimal release rate of the therapeutic agent, and addressing potential allergic reactions or side effects. The field of biopatches is evolving, and new applications and technologies are continuously being developed. If you're looking for more recent or specific details, you might want to check recent publications or medical sources.

  6. KEY POINTS ABOUT BIOPATCH : Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic that fights bacteria. Biopatch (for the skin) is used to clean the skin to prevent infection that may be caused by surgery, injection, or skin injury. BIOPATCH Protective Disk with CHG is the only dressing that meets all the following criteria: Intended to reduce local infections, catheter related bloodstream infections (CRBSI), and skin colonization of microorganisms commonly related to CRBSI, in patients with central venous or arterial catheters.

  7. Biopatch is applied to the insertion site before, and in addition to, applying a standard sterile transparent semipermeable IV dressing. The patch is designed to continuously release CHG onto the insertion site for 7 days. Over time the BIOPATCH may turn yellow in color. This coloration does not reduce the antimicrobial efficacy of the dressing  It is estimated that over 54,000 people get a catheter‐related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) every single year in the UK.4

  8. USAGE OF BIOPATCH : BIOPATCH is a protective disk with CHG is a hydrophilic polyurethane absorptive foam with Chlorahexidine Gluconate (CHG). • The foam material absorbs up to 8 times its own weight in fluid, while the CHG incorporated into the dressing inhibits bacterial growth under the dressing. • Chlorahexidine Gluconate is a well-known antiseptic agent with broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal activity

  9. BIOPATCH is supplied sterile • Each package contains a single disk. • BIOPATCH is intended for single use only. DO NOT resterilize. • Store at room temperature BIOPATCH should not be placed over infected wounds. It is not intended to be used as a treatment of percutaneous device-related infections. • DO NOT use BIOPATCH on premature infants or children < 1 year of age. The Safety and Effectiveness of BIOPATCH has not been established in children under 16 years of age. • DO NOT use BIOPATCH on patients with a known sensitivity to chlorhexidine gluconate.

  10. APPLICATIONS OF BIOPATCH : • The BIOPATCH has to be flat on the skin  • Change the BIOPATCH every 7 days  .  Change the BIOPATCH if the patch is “PUFFY” and therefore in ineffective  • Do not use the BIOPATCH on children < 1 year of age • It is not recommended clinically for peripheral IV sites

  11.  • If the BIOPATCH is applied at insertion it eliminated the 24 hour dressing change after vascular access insertions . Continuous health monitoring . Diabetes management . Avoid using other medicines on the areas you treat with Biopatch unless your doctor tells you to. . Cosmetic and dermatological applications . Customizable for specific needs

  12. IDEAS REGARDING BIOPATCH : * Biopatch can also  be used in the healing process of the surgery marks and other kind of wound marks in the skin * The healing process of these kind of marks in the body can be easy with help of these kind of biopatches * By this idea biopatch can be used effectively used in healing of various kinds of marlks
