Diabetic wounds with slow healing and high infection risk can benefit from multifunctional hydrogels with antibacterial, pro-angiogenesis, and overall healing properties. These hydrogels, designed to accelerate diabetic wound healing, offer promising strategies for addressing the complex pathology of diabetic wounds.
Diabetic wounds often have a slow healing process and become easily infected owing to hyperglycemia in wound beds. Once planktonic bacterial cells develop into biofilms, the diabetic wound becomes more resistant to treatment. Although it remains challenging to accelerate healing in a diabetic wound due to complex pathology, including bacterial infection, high reactive oxygen species, chronic inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis, the development of multifunctional hydrogels is a promising strategy. Multiple functions, including antibacterial, pro-angiogenesis, and overall pro-healing, are high priorities. Here, design strategies, mechanisms of action, performance, and application of functional hydrogels are systematically discussed. The unique properties of hydrogels, including bactericidal and wound healing promotive effects, are reviewed. Considering the clinical need, stimuli-responsive and multifunctional hydrogels that can accelerate diabetic wound healing are likely to form an important part of future diabetic wound management.
