Sodium hyaluronate hydrogel for wound healing and human health monitoring based on deep eutectic solvent
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES(2024)
Abstract
Hydrogel dressings traditionally promote wound healing by maintaining moisture and preventing infection rather than by actively stimulating the skin to regulate cell behavior. Electrical stimulation (ES) is known to modulate skin cell behavior and to promote wound healing. This study describes the first multifunctional conductive hydrogel for wound healing and health monitoring based on a deep eutectic solvent (DES). Sodium hyaluronate and polydopamine constituted the hydrogel skeleton, and tea tree oil and Panax notoginseng extract were used as the active ingredients to induce adhesion, promote antioxidant and antibacterial activity, and support biocompatibility of the hydrogel. The inclusion of DES increases the temperature resistance of the hydrogel and improves its environmental adaptability. We used a small, portable coin battery-powered to provide electrical stimulation. Treatment with both the hydrogel and ES resulted in a stronger therapeutic effect than that provided by the commercial DuoDERM dressing. The hydrogel detected movement and strain when applied as a sensor. Overall, this study reports the development of a multifunctional conductive hydrogel dressing based on DES as a wound healing and health monitor.
