Abstract:
Malignant fungating wounds (MFW) are incurable, severe, and debilitating conditions normally occurring in the last (six) months of oncologic patient’ life, affecting the overall quality of life and requiring appropriate palliative care to alleviate pain and suffering. MFW’s microbiome may influence the development and severity of wound symptoms, causing foul odors, peri-wound skin damage, inflammation, and ultimately, delays in the healing proliferative phase. ARGOS project is implemented by a consortium of two research institutions and one company with previous experience in developing collagen-based pharmaco-cosmeceutic products and is aiming to develop an innovative multi-purpose, bioactive topical formulation to assist the physical management of malignant fungating wounds, by addressing the microbiome-related symptoms such as pain, odor, and exudate. The proposed solution is based on collagen and inorganic - gold, silver and magnetic – nanoparticles functionalized with plant-derived bioactive compounds (such as polyphenols contained in Chelidonium majus L. and Tamarix gallica extracts, with previously demonstrated antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiproliferative, antiviral and immunomodulatory activity). Therefore, the main novelty of the proposed solution is that it provides not only a wide antimicrobial effect, but also anti-cancer activity and pro-healing properties on the site of malignant wounds. The physico-chemical, mechanical and biological properties of the collagen-based optimized product will be validated by standard protocols and the technological scaling documentation and argumentation of the investments required for in vivo tests will be elaborated (TRL4).

Abstract:
The GRACE project aims to obtain and characterize a range of integrative products, designed to regenerate the epidermis affected by superficial lesions, solar radiation, radiation therapy, or bedsores, using specifically functionalized hydrogels with complexes of inclusion of active ingredients in host molecules. These supramolecular complexes will represent the innovative component in the formulation of a new range of products with applications in the field of regenerative cosmetics. In concrete terms, the GRACE project aims to obtain a range of 3 products: single-dose hydrogel (for superficial lesions), cream gel (for skin affected by radiation) and cleansing gel (for gentle debris removal and cleaning of superficial lesions). In this sense, the project will stimulate the investment in research - technological development from the beneficiary company, as well as the consolidation of the company's potential actor on the domestic and international market, highly competitive, of dermato-cosmetic products. In the alternative, the project will develop the company's traditional partnerships with scientific research institutions, in order to connect Romanian applied research to the requirements of the national and European socio-economic environment.

Abstract:
Wound healing is a multiphase and multifactorial physiological process. The complexity of this phenomenon makes the healing process very difficult and painful due to several abnormalities. As a response to this problematic issue, as primary or secondary dressing, a complex composite matrix for hemostasis and connective tissue regeneration will be design, developed and validated. The demonstrative model will consist in three layers, namely semi-adherent or a non-adherent layer, absorptive layer and bacterial barrier layer. For the first layer, different textile structures based on conventional and non-conventional technology will be developed. The textile structures will be made from synthetic, artificial and/or bioresorbable polymers (PGA, PLA) and will be design so that to ensure a pore diameter of 50 µm, considering as being enough to permit the free passage of exudates into the secondary absorbent layer but too small to allow the ingress of granulation tissue. The perforated structure prevents the dressing from adhering to the surface of the wound while the holes allow the passage of exudates to the absorbent layer. The second layer will comprise an absorbent material for absorbing exudates, blood, moisture and other fluid materials from the inner layer and maintains the wound in moist environment. A collagen or collagen cellulosic matrix containing a super-absorbent, e.g., carboxymethyl cellulose/ sodium polyacrylate etc., by electrospinning technologies deposition will be used for absorbent layer in the composite dressing. The third or outer layer comprises a bacterium-impermeable and air-permeable cover film. The cover film also consists of a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive in its peripheral. The bacterial barrier layer will comprise a flexible, waterproof and breathable material (e.g. polyurethane film of approximately 0.5–1.5 mm thickness, polypropylene or polyethylene such as a low-density, opaque polyethylene film).

Abstract:
The role of medical devices is essential to the healthcare of citizens. The diversity and innovativeness of this sector contributes significantly to enhancing the safety, quality and efficacy of healthcare in the EU. The challenges related to R&D, emerging technologies and the green economy, as well as issues related to the EU’s trade and regulatory cooperation globally have became more intensive in recent years. SMEs in particular face challenges in this regard. The medical devices sector faces many challenges at national, European and international level, which may have an impact on their innovation capacity and overall competitiveness: Public Health Systems, Finding the balance between patient’s needs and financial sustainability, Competitiveness and innovation. The medical devices with high added value made from resorbable and nonresorbable biopolimers, processed by modern technology (knitting and electrospinning) with linear and spatial structure, functionalized with active agents will be obtained in PariTex project will be a contribution of R&D activity to give an answer for sustainable medical textile device sector. The PariTex project will develop new textiles materials for healing of the parietal abdominal defects, based fibers/ yarns made of nonabsorbable and resorbable polymers (biopolymers) obtained by classical and unconventional (electrospinning) technologies. Knitted and nonwoven fabrics characterized by mass, thickness, porosity,density, dimensions etc. are functionalized by incorporating or coating with substances that have the goal of: reducing adherence to human tissue, reducing the risk of infection, monitoring healing time by using controlled release systems based on natural polymers, reducing abdominal discomfort and associated pain. Will be assessed the level of biological performance, by the test of the mutagenic potential by using the micronucleus test on the hematogenic marrow of mice to determine the sensitizing potential, acute local tolerance, cytotoxicity and subacute toxicity.
The project will contribute to the initiation and consolidation of a value chain for the realization of functional textile structures based on partners' competencies, but also by attracting clusters of textiles and medicine for the application of the results.

Abstract:
Chronic wounds represent a good niche for biofilm development because the impaired immune response promotes infection susceptibility whilst necrotic tissue and debris favor bacterial attachment. Collagen hydrogels represent one of the most efficient treatments in case of both chronic and acute wounds due to their ability to maintain optimal humidity and aeration parameters. Currently, at a national level there is no production of collagen hydrogels aimed for the treatment of chronic wounds, hence these types of products are being imported. In this context, the present project proposal aims to design and obtain new types of multifunctional collagen hydrogels harboring antimicrobial properties in order to favor the healing process of chronic wounds. As a novelty element in comparison to products currently available on the international market, we will design and produce collagen hydrogels containing nanoparticles. Thus, Sanimed International Impex S.R.L will develop a simple and rapid technology to obtain hydrogels functionalized with metalic and oxidic nanoparticles (collagen hydrogels with Ag nanoparticles, collagen hydrogels with ZnO hydrogels and collagen hydrogels with SiO2@ZnO nanoparticles). The novel hydrogels will be tested for their antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties using in vitro and in vivo methods and also for the host response after hydrogel treatment on wounded cells and in vivo lesion murine models, for achieving market preparation.

Abstract:
The nano-ECol project proposal aims to develop an innovative technology and to implement a demonstrative prototype at the Technology Readiness Level TRL5, for the production of micro- and nano-fibrillar substrata usable as absorbable dressings for wounds and burns. The micro- and nano-fibers will be obtained by electrospinning, starting from colloidal solutions of atelocollagen currently manufactured at S.C. Sanimed International Impex S.R.L. In this respect, the project aims at shifting/promoting the INFIM SPIN 1.0 prototype, developed through a previous project by the National Institute of Materials Physics (INCDFM), and preliminary tested for its atelocollagen electrospinning capacity, from the TRL4 to the TRL5.
The main technological challenges faced by the nano-Ecol project are: (i) preserving atelocollagen macromolecule in a quasi-native state, (ii) providing the products reproducibility, (iii) producing substrates with an area of tens of square dm and thickness of 3 ... 12 mm, (iv) providing a prototype able to work at micropilot scale, with at demand-formulated electrospun compositions, (v) providing rapid structural and dimensional prototyping, (vi) scaling-up the prototype and related technology to industrial level.
The project will benefit from the facilities and logistics of five research centers, of which two belong to Sanimed, and three to INCDFM. Services and facilities provided by all mentioned centers are detailed on the ERRIS platform.
The Sanimed co-funding represents 67.63% of the sum allocated to the company from the public budget, i.e. 25.27% of total buget, and 39.04% of the total payroll.
The expected outcomes of the project meet the Sanimed interest in expanding the range of products and addressability, by manufacturing resorbable dressings with tailored shape, structure and density, obtained from compositions formulated at physician’s request, in order to satisfy specific pacient needs.
