Managing slow-healing wounds and associated complications is challenging. Systematic collection, analysis, and dissemination of correct wound status data are critical for enhancing healing outcomes and reducing complications.
Managing slow-healing wounds and associated complications is challenging, time-consuming, and expensive. Systematic collection, analysis, and dissemination of correct wound status data are critical for enhancing healing outcomes and reducing complications. However, traditional data collection approaches are often neither accurate nor user-friendly and require diverse skill levels, resulting in the collection of inconsistent and unreliable data. As an advancement to the authors' previously developed hydrogel-based smart wound dressing, here is reported an enhanced integration of drug delivery and sensing (pH and glucose) modules for accelerated treatment and continuous monitoring of cutaneous wounds. In the current study, growth factor delivery modules and an array of colorimetric glucose sensors are incorporated into the dressing to promote wound healing and extend the dressing's utility for diabetic wound treatment. Furthermore, the efficacy of the wound dressing in monitoring infection and supporting wound healing via antibiotic and growth factor delivery is investigated in mice models. The updated dressing reveals excellent healing benefits on non-infected and infected wounds, as well as real-time monitoring and early detection of wound infection.
