Bandages made from jellyfish have the ability to speed up the healing of wounds, such as diabetic ulcers.

Unique bandage containing jellyfish collagen, which helps promote human tissue growth and wound healing.

In addition to ulcers caused by complications of diabetes, a new type of bandage made from jellyfish collagen can also heal chronic ulcers in bedridden people, according toDaily Mail.

A special bandage made from jellyfish collagen has the ability to heal chronic wounds in people with diabetes.

Chronic wounds take a long time to heal for a variety of reasons, including poor blood and oxygen supply to the wound or problems with the factors that help tissue grow to heal the skin. As a result, there is not enough collagen in the skin to close the wound, leaving it open, inflamed, and taking weeks to heal.

Collagen plays an important role in wound healing. It stimulates the growth of new tissues, fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Collagen also stimulates blood vessels to regenerate and heal wounds quickly.

When this process fails, scientists often use collagen from other sources to treat wounds. Previously, collagen derived from pigs, horses, and cows has proven effective in healing chronic wounds, according toDaily Mail.

However, collagen from pigs, horses and cows carries the risk of contamination by bacteria and viruses. Collagen from jellyfish, on the other hand, does not have this problem.

The collagen that makes up this bandage that can heal chronic wounds is taken from the giant jellyfish Rhizostoma pulmo. They live commonly in the Irish Sea, with a body diameter of about 38 cm. The place where this bandage is developed is a company based in the city of Cardiff, Wales, in the United Kingdom.

Studies have shown that Rhizostoma pulmo jellyfish collagen is completely compatible with the human body. Wound healing results are comparable to those of bovine collagen but without the risk of bacterial or viral infections.

It is still unclear when this unique bandage will officially be available on the market, according toDaily Mail.
