Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Wound Healing Research
  • Biosensing Technology

Background:

  • Traditional wound dressings lack stable antibacterial activity and multifunctional sensing capabilities for health monitoring.
  • There is a need for advanced wound care solutions that promote healing and provide physiological data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a multifunctional hydrogel dressing for infected wound treatment and human health monitoring.
  • To enhance hydrogel properties for improved environmental adaptability and therapeutic efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of an alginate-polycation hydrogel using in situ polymerization and solvent displacement.
  • Functionalization to improve antifreezing, water retention, environmental adaptability, adhesion, and photothermal properties.
  • Evaluation of antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus, in vivo wound healing in a rat model, and multifunctional sensing capabilities (strain, pressure, temperature).

Main Results:

  • The hydrogel demonstrated excellent antibacterial efficacy against common pathogens.
  • In a rat model, the hydrogel significantly accelerated infected wound healing, achieving a 96.49% healing rate.
  • The hydrogel exhibited stable and multiple response modes for strain, pressure, and temperature sensing.

Conclusions:

  • The developed multifunctional hydrogel dressing effectively treats infected wounds by providing sustained antibacterial action and promoting rapid healing.
  • This smart hydrogel dressing shows potential as a platform for integrated wound management and continuous human health monitoring.
