DOST’s nuclear agency’s utility model bags first place in NCR invention tilt
The utility model called Propolis Alginate Dressing recently won first place in the Unlad category of the Regional Invention Contest and Exhibits-National Capital Region (RICE-NCR).
Developed by researchers from the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI), the technology offers several advantages over its commercial counterparts such as faster and complete wound healing, non-sticky, non-toxic, non-irritating, non-scabbing, among others. Further, once commercialized, the all-natural wound dressing is expected to be of much lower cost than existing popular wound dressings.
