An injectable self-healing hydrogel with adhesive and antibacterial properties effectively promotes wound healing
Abstract
Hydrogels with self-healing capacity can undergo self-repair, establishing safer and longer-lasting products. Hydrogel wound dressings showing self-healing capacity can prolong the lifespan of the material and provide better wound protection. Therefore, in this study, Schiff base reactions (reversible imine linkages) were utilized to design injectable self-healing hydrogels with chitosan and konjac glucomannan. Oxidized konjac glucomannan was used to react with chitosan to form hydrogel. In addition to injectable, self-healing properties, the hydrogels also had adhesive and antibacterial properties, were biocompatible, and promoted wound healing. The inhibition rates of hydrogels against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were 96% and 98%, respectively. In addition, microscopy and rheological analyses showed that the hydrogels healed within 4 h without additional exogenous stimulation. Finally, the developed hydrogels were injectable and significantly shortened wound recovery time in a full-thickness skin defect model. Thus, our findings established a novel hydrogel material that may have applications in wound healing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
