Project Description

FlusiTex  will  develop  a  wound  dressing with  an  integrated  sensing  layer  for  non-invasive  wound monitoring using fluorescence lifetime detection. The sensing strategy relies on a functionalized coating integrated  onto  commercially available  wound  dressings.  Functionalization comprises  fluorescence modified  polymer hydrogels, enzymes  embedded  in fluorescence  labeled polymer  coatings,  and functionalized nanoparticles that also serve as a component of the coating layer.
