“…The higher the friction between MCS and skin, the more difficult it is to wear the stocking [5]. In addition, perspiration during the use can cause a moist or wet interface between skin and MCS, which increases the friction coefficient and leads to discomfort feelings [6][7][8]. Thus, it is assumed that reducing the friction at the skin-MCS interface could improve the usability and sensorial comfort of MCSs, which is an urgent issue for manufacturers.…”

The friction behaviour of five medical compression stockings (MCSs) against forearm skin was investigated in vivo as a function of normal load under dry and wet conditions. In addition, the interfacial moisture transport and skin hydration were analysed to understand the influence on friction. The friction coefficients of dry fabrics showed no significant differences between a traditional MCS and versions with modified material composition and base structure. Under wet conditions, the modified MCS fabrics showed considerably lower friction coefficients than the traditional MCS fabric. Changes in the material composition led to 20-30 % lower friction coefficients, different base structures to 50-60 % lower friction. The water transport properties of the MCS fabrics suggest that removal of interfacial water is useful for reducing the friction between MCSs and skin. The results provide information for the optimisation of MCSs regarding improved comfort and moisture transport properties.

“…Accidents, burns, surgeries, and other factors can also cause tissue damage and disruption of anatomical structure and function of skin. Wounds are classified based on the depth of the wound, the amount of tissue loss, the type of injury, the location, and the clinical appearance (Patil et al, 2020;Strese et al, 2013).…”

“…Silk fibroin's properties make it an excellent biomaterial for skin tissue engineering and repair (Gholipourmalekabadi et al, 2020;Patil et al, 2020). Moreover, fibroin can be combined with antimicrobial agents, particularly silver nanoparticles, to create products that further improve wound healing and antibacterial effects (Pollini & Paladini, 2020;Strese et al, 2013). The absorption coefficient, fluid absorption capacity, moisture vapor permeability, water tightness, bacterial barrier features, and biocompatibility are all demonstrated in the SF film fabricated (W. Zhang et al, 2017).…”

Silk worm (Bombyx Mori) protein, have been considered as potential materials for a variety of advanced engineering and biomedical applications for decades. Recently, silkworm silk has gained significant importance in research attention mainly because of its remarkable and exceptional mechanical properties. Silk has already been shown to have unique interactions with cells in tissues through bio-recognition units. The natural silk contains fibroin and sericin and has been used in various tissues of the human body (skin, bone, nerve, and so on). Besides, silk also still has anti-cancer, anti-tyrosinase, anti-coagulant, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, and antidiabetic properties. This article is supposed to describe the diverse biomedical capabilities of B. Mori silk as the appropriate biomaterial among the assorted natural and artificial polymers that are presently accessible, and ideal for usage in regenerative medicine fields.

“…Optical coherence tomography (OCT) currently ranks among the most commonly implemented technologies in medicine and is utilized in several medical fields [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Initially developed for presenting the morphological structures of the eye, as reported by Huang et al in [9], this non-invasive imaging technique has facilitated the monitoring of dermatological diseases for more than 15 years [10][11][12].…”

Non-invasive skin analysis by optical coherence tomography (OCT) is limited because of the absorption and scattering properties of the tissue. There are several possibilities for enhancing OCT images. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that image quality can be improved using the hyperosmolar agents glucose and glycerol while investigating human ridged and meshed skin areas, without causing damage to the tissue. The experiments were carried out on the palm and the forearm of ten volunteers. After application of the substances in the test area, the penetration depth and image contrast were measured at intervals of 5 min for a total duration of 60 min. Both agents clearly improved the OCT imaging depth in comparison to untreated human skin. The results demonstrated that glucose had a faster diffusion rate than glycerol. Consequently, it can be concluded that the treatment with glucose or glycerol for optical clearing of the skin tissue results in an improved image quality if applied 15-25 min prior to clinical testing.
