4B: Antimicrobial Biomaterials 2

This session highlights recent advances in biomaterials for therapeutics, diagnostics, and biodevices focusing on hemostasis, thrombosis, mechanobiology, and wound healing. Addressing these complex injuries necessitates advanced therapeutic strategies that promote hemostasis, manage infections and wound healing, and provide tissue regeneration. Current treatments for high-energy trauma are inadequate for addressing the extensive tissue damage and infections often associated with these injuries. Through this symposium, we seek to demonstrate the significant clinical potential of problem-focused therapy as a rational solution for improving healing outcomes, rapid and effective tissue regeneration, and robust infection control, leading to improved quality of life for both military personnel and civilians.
