  • Publication number: 20240342450
    Abstract: A solution blow spin device includes a syringe pump assembly, an airbrush adapter, and a handle base. The syringe pump assembly, airbrush adapter, and handle base are reversibly coupled to one another and configured to work in tandem to address wound dressing using a polymer solution and autologous skin cell suspension co-spray. The airbrush adapter includes multiple nozzles for deposition of multiple solutions sequentially or simultaneously in order to improve would dressing efficacy. The syringe pump assembly includes multiple syringes holding the multiple solutions, and the syringes can be emptied by individually addressable lead screws configured to translate blocks to depress syringe plungers when the lead screws are rotated via corresponding actuators.
