Innovating Chronic Wound Treatment

Innovating Chronic Wound Treatment

At a Glance

  • Developing a customisable 3D printed wound dressing
  • Integrating antibacterial, anti inflammatory, and regenerative bioinks
  • Tested and aligned with regulatory and HTA frameworks

FORCE REPAIR responds to the need for advanced treatments of chronic wounds, a growing challenge particularly in people with diabetes, obesity, or age-related conditions. The project is developing a smart, customizable wound dressing using advanced 3D printing. This new dressing integrates antibacterial protection, inflammation control, and materials that support the body’s natural ability to regenerate skin. The consortium also addresses regulatory approval, health technology assessment, and a sustainable exploitation strategy. FORCE REPAIR brings together experts in materials science, medicine, and health policy to create a product that improves healing, reduces discomfort, and eases the workload for healthcare professionals.

Improving healing and quality of life for people with chronic wounds

Improving healing and quality of life for people with chronic wounds

Chronic wounds are painful, slow to heal, and costly for healthcare systems. Many current treatments are limited in their ability to restore healthy skin, prevent infections, or reduce scarring. As our population ages and chronic diseases become more common, the need for better wound care is urgent. FORCE REPAIR addresses this by developing a new kind of wound dressing that works with the body to speed up healing. By combining smart materials with patient-centred design, the project aims to improve outcomes and reduce the time, pain, and resources involved in chronic wound care.

Integrating multifunctional bioinks, smart materials, and regulatory alignment

Integrating multifunctional bioinks, smart materials, and regulatory alignment

FORCE REPAIR brings together the latest in material science and 3D printing to build a wound dressing that does more than just cover the skin. Its design includes natural materials that fight infection, reduce inflammation, and help the body rebuild damaged tissue. The dressing is customisable and can be adapted to different wound shapes and sizes. When activated by UV light, it gently contracts, supporting the wound as it heals. The project also considers how to bring this innovation to the clinic, making sure it meets safety standards, is easy to use, and fits into everyday healthcare settings.
