摘要
Dressings seamlessly attached to the open wound bed are necessary for fully unleashing the dressing healing ability, as leaving the voids beneath the dressing poses infection hazards. The present study prepared an instant mucus dressing (IMD) of polyethylene oxide (PEO) reinforced by chitosan (CS) nanofiber scaffold, which formed by immersing PEO/CS nanofiber mat in water. The PEO/CS nanofiber mat were fabricated by the solution blow spinning (SBS) method using PEO and CS mixed solutions. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Xray diffraction (XRD) and differential scan calorimetry (DSC) analyses indicate that PEO macromolecules formed the most of nanofiber shell due to their lower surface tension while CS macromolecules stayed mainly inside the fiber as the core. When such a PEO/CS nanofiber mat was immersed in water, PEO swelled to form mucus dressing reinforced by CS inside the nanofiber, which was fluidic and able to fully fill the voids on the wound. In vivo rat experiment verified that the dressing significantly accelerated the open wound healing through seamlessly attaching of mucus to the open wound and providing moist environment. The dressings exhibit good platelets and whole blood cells adhesion properties, excellent hemostasis function and no cytotoxicity. This instant mucus dressing provided a new perspective for manufacturing high performance open wound dressings.
