The first-generation electrospinner is displayed at the Naval Medical Research Unit San Antonio at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston. The electrospinner, which was built in 2012, is being used for a research project at NAMRU-SA to produce a new type of wound dressing, a nanofibrous scaffold which contains natural fibers to deliver biomolecules and drugs to heal and treat the wounds of service members injured in combat. The fully automated electrospinner uses high voltage electricity as a force to produce and create the nanofibrous scaffold from biomaterials.
