A new type of wound dressing for treating burn victims
It is able to reduce the frequency of dressing changes, which can be extremely painful for patients.
The dressing could also enhance the healing process and have potential applications for drug delivery in cancer treatment as well as in the cosmetic industry.
It is made from advanced polymers and 3D printed and can easily adhere to the skin but also be easily taken off.
The material used to create these smart dressings includes a biopolymer derived from seaweed, a thermally responsive polymer, and cellulose nano-crystals.
It was developed by researchers at Canada’s University of Waterloo in Ontario.
It can be customised by taking 3D scans of the patient's face and body parts to meet individual's needs.
OPS:( Left to right) A patient's face is scanned, then the scan is used for 3D printing a mask or affected part of the body. The finished hydrogel dressing is then infused withdrugs before being placed on the patent.

A robot that helps people with dementia locate medicine, glasses, phones and other objects they need but have lost, has been developed by engineers.
They say the technology , which involves a new way to program robots, could someday be used by anyone hunting for something they’ve misplaced.
Dr. Ali Ayub and a team from Canada’s University of Waterloo were struck by the rapidly rising number of people coping with dementia.
The research team began with a Fetch mobile manipulator robot, which has a camera for perceiving the world around it.
Next, using an object-detection algorithm, they programmed the robot to detect, track and keep a memory log of specific objects in its camera view through stored video.
With the robot capable of distinguishing one object from another, it can record the time and date objects enter or leave its view.
