Freeze-Thawing Chitosan/Ions Hydrogel Coated Gauzes Releasing Multiple Metal Ions on Demand for Improved Infected Wound Healing

Jian Xiao et al.

Summary: The imbalance of metal ions in the wound microenvironment is a key factor leading to delayed wound healing. A novel freeze-thawing strategy has been developed to incorporate chitosan/ions hydrogel into medical gauzes for on-demand release of multiple ions to accelerate wound healing. Both in vitro and in vivo studies show that the metal ions released from the gauzes can effectively kill bacteria, promote cell migration, accelerate granulation formation, collagen deposition, re-epithelization, angiogenesis, and inhibit inflammation, thus enhancing infected wound healing.
