The present invention provides hybrid nanofibres that comprise a mixture of components of an Aloe vera gel and a synthetic polymer selected from poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and polydioxanone (PDS), the average diameter of the hybrid nanofibres being 0.3 to 1.5 microns. The invention also relates to hybrid nanofibres that comprise a mixture of components of a bee honey and a synthetic honey. The invention further provides a method for producing the hybrid nanofibres. The hybrid nanofibres of the invention can be used in tubular prostheses for nerve reconnection following peripheral nerve axotomy, in surgical meshes, dressings and sutures, to improve the reinnervation, and therefore the functional recovery from injuries in diverse organs such as the skin (e.g. burns, ulcers, surgical incisions, fistulas, etc.).

Applications

La venta de la presente invención es que proporciona nanofibras híbridas que comprenden una mezcla de los componentes de un gel de aloe vera y un polímero sintético seleccionado. Asimismo, la presente invención proporciona un método de fabricación de dichas nanofibras híbridas. Las nanofibras híbridas de la invención pueden ser usadas en prótesis tubulares de reconexión nerviosa tras axotomía de nervios periféricos, en apósitos y suturas para mejorar la reinervación, y por tanto la recuperación sensitiva, de lesiones en órganos sensoriales como la piel (ej. quemaduras, úlceras, incisiones quirúrgicas, etc.) entre otros.
