Abstract
With the widespread utilization of moist wound dressings, the extended healing time and increased risk of wound infection caused by excessively moist environments have garnered significant attention. The development of hydrogel dressings that can effectively control the wound moisture level and promote healing is very important. Inspired by the pore-opening perspiration effect of the skin, this study constructed an injectable dual-network hydrogel, CMCS-OSA/AG/MXene, by the composition of a dynamic covalent network of carboxymethyl chitosan and oxidized sodium alginate based on the Schiff base and hydrogen bond network of the thermosensitive low-melting-point agar with the advantage of the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) effect. Under near-infrared (NIR) light stimulation, the CMCS-OSA/AG/MXene hydrogel shows characteristics conducive to rapid removal of wound exudate while maintaining an appropriate moist environment for the wound and excellent antibacterial effects with its photothermal responses. The excellent conductivity of the hydrogel can also promote cell proliferation under external electrical stimulation (ES). Further validation through animal experiments on a full-thickness skin defect model demonstrates the excellent capability of CMCS-OSA/AG/MXene in accelerating wound healing. This work provides an innovative approach to the development of injectable hydrogel dressing materials with inherent drainage functionality and shows a new avenue to wound moisture control and wound healing promotion.
