Depeche Mode实验室研制出治疗伤口的新型喷雾设备

一种伤口处理新方法使用了喷雾治疗，从而无需使用绷带覆盖开放性创伤，阻断了超级病原体比如甲氧苯青霉素耐药性金黄色葡萄球菌的传播。

喷雾治疗通过产生一种不可见的蛛网覆盖伤口来促进皮肤自然愈合。喷雾中的氨基酸与蛋白质模拟了血液产生的物质，加速了细胞生长填补伤口。伤口只需要在愈合过程开始的时候清创一次，而且不允许将伤口弄潮湿。这种喷雾设备叫做Youki，是由Depeche Mode实验室研制的。

Depeche Mode实验室研究主任Sujata Jolly说：“你需要数次喷雾以产生保护性薄膜，需要某些物质覆盖伤口，因为你仍然需要保护它。产生的保护屏障允许伤口透气。”

甲氧苯青霉素耐药性金黄色葡萄球菌几乎总是由直接的物理接触传播，而不是通过空气传播。传播也可能发生于非直接接触的条件下，比如接触甲氧苯青霉素耐药性金黄色葡萄球菌携带患者皮肤污染的物体例如床单或者毛巾。Youki解决了这些问题，而不需要医务人员、患者或者护理人员接触伤口覆盖物。

New Spray Treatment for Wounds
 
A new approach to wound-care is embodied in a spray that avoids the need to cover up open injuries with bandages and helps halt the spread of superbugs such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

The spray encourages the skin to heal itself naturally by creating an invisible web across the wound. Amino acids and proteins in the spray mimic those made by blood and rapidly speed up the cell growth to fill any holes. Wounds need be cleaned only once, at the start of the healing process, and are not allowed to get wet at all. The spray, called Youki, was developed by Depeche Mode Laboratories (Maidenhead, UK).

“You need to spray several times to build up a protective film,” said Sujata Jolly, research director at Depeche Mode. “There has to be something to cover the wound, because you still have to protect it. The barrier it creates is breathable.”

MRSA is almost always spread by direct physical contact and not through the air. Spread may also occur through indirect contact by touching objects such as sheets or towels that are contaminated by the infected skin of a person with MRSA. Youki addresses these problems by not requiring healthcare staff, patients, or caregivers, to touch wound dressings.
