Abstract
The application of patch methods for repairing abdominal wall wounds presents a variety of challenges, such as adhesion and limited mobility due to inadequate mechanical strength and nonabsorbable materials. Among these complications, postoperative visceral adhesion and wound infection are particularly serious. In this study, a bilayered composite patch with a gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)/sodium alginate (SA)-vancomycin (Van)@polycaprolactone (PCL) (GelMA/SA-Van@PCL) antibacterial layer was prepared via coaxial 3D printing and a polycaprolactone (PCL)-silicon dioxide (SiO2) antiadhesive layer (PCL-SiO2) was prepared via electrospinning and electrostatic spray for hernia repair. The evaluation of the physicochemical properties revealed that the composite patch had outstanding tensile properties (16 N cm−1), excellent swelling (swelling rate of 243.81 ± 12.52%) and degradation (degradation rate of 53.14 ± 3.02%) properties. Furthermore, the composite patch containing the antibiotic Van exhibited good antibacterial and long-term drug release properties. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments indicated that the composite patch displayed outstanding biocompatibility and antiadhesive properties and could prevent postoperative infections. In summary, the bilayered composite patch can effectively prevent postoperative complications while promoting tissue growth and repair and holds significant application potential in hernia repair.
