Bacterial Cellulose for Several Medicine Areas: Future Insights

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC)-Nanoskin® has become established as a new biomaterial and can be used in several medicine areas, especially for medical devices mainly in dental and orthopedics applications. In addition, biomaterials have rise because of the increased interest in tissue engineering and regeneratine medicine materials for wound care and skin cancer treatment. The BC process production can be changed by different fermentation process. It has par-ticular properties that make it an ideal candidate as a medical material: high mechanical properties, biocompatibility to the host tissue, and production in various shapes and sizes. This review describes a behavior investigation of this biomaterial in human medicine with bacterial cellulose, skin cancer, co-vid-19 and 3-D print for medical area.
