A Highly Elastic and Antimicrobial Composite Hydrogel-Based Dressing for Wound Healing

摘要

Conclusions: In this work, we introduce a new class of highly elastic hydrogel-based adhesive for the clinical management of non-healing wounds. The synergistic association of two biopolymers with distinct physicochemical properties enabled the fine-tuning of various features of the composite hydrogels. Taken together, our results demonstrate the remarkable potential of MeTro/GelMA-AMP hydrogels for the engineering of sutureless tissue adhesives, which could prevent infection and promote healing of non-healing wounds.
