Cover Story: Advancements in imaging, particularly high-speed imaging with a 100 kHz frame rate, have aided spray visualization analysis. This technique allows for the investigation of the impact of nozzle design on spray distribution, particularly regarding droplet size, particle number, and surface coverage. Analyzing these factors provides deeper insights into how nozzles influence cell behavior and how this can impact cell spray treatments for burn wounds. Efficient cell delivery and complete wound coverage are crucial for success, and investigating nozzle design through high-speed imaging analysis can significantly improve these outcomes.
