Scientists from the Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine have created “Hydrobynt” (hydro-bandage) medicine, which helps heal burns from phosphorus shells. The drug is based on silver nanoparticles that stimulate healing of wounds, burns and ulcers. “Hydrobynt” was developed by scientists in two forms: as a bandage and as a spray for disinfection.

Scientists have already sent a batch of the drug to field hospitals and received positive feedback from doctors. According to doctors, the pain in patients decreases immediately after the application of “Hydrobynt”, and the wounds get cleaned.

Now scientists offer to provide their technology to manufacturers so it could be mass produced.
