![]() Because of this, an injectable wound dressing must be developed that lowers inflammation and promotes self-healing.Ī water-soluble polysaccharide called konjac glucomannan (KGM) can promote the growth of fibroblasts and has good biocompatibility. However, several studies have shown that burn infection-related strong inflammatory responses and high oxidative stress may impede wound healing. ![]() The majority of biological dressings used now to treat burns are constructed of hydrogels. Antibiotic overuse, however, alters the ecology of several infectious diseases and increases the chance of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. Skin transplantation, systemic antibiotic therapy, and wound dressing are the main treatments for burn wound infection. As a result, burn wound infections harm patients' health. Skin integrity is destroyed by burning, opening the door to microbial infiltration and illness. Study: Mussel-inspired hydrogel with injectable self-healing and antibacterial properties promotes wound healing in burn wound infection. In an article recently published in the open-access journal NPG Asia Materials, researchers discussed the acceleration of wound healing in burn wound infection by an injectable, mussel-inspired hydrogel with antibacterial and self-healing characteristics. ![]() By Surbhi Jain Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc.
