Bio-inspired skin sprays and surgical dressings, using berry extracts and nanocellulose, have been created by VTT Team. These innovations are built on the antimicrobial properties of berry extracts, effective against bacteria like MRSA from human skin, without harming the beneficial microbiota. With the growing issue of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, this approach offers a significant advance for wound care and surgical operations. Berry extracts can be harvested from by-products of juice production using the skins and seeds of the berries.
