Wound Dressings: An Advanced Multifunctional Hydrogel‐Based Dressing for Wound Monitoring and Drug Delivery (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 19/2017)

Abstract: Wound management is a major global challenge and poses a significant financial burden to the healthcare system. In article https://doi.org/10.1002/adhm.201700718, Mohsen Akbari and co‐workers develop an advanced multifunctional dressing (GelDerm) capable of colorimetric measurement of pH, an indicator of bacterial infection, and release of antibiotic agents at the wound site. GelDerm makes wound care easier and less painful to the patient, and more cost‐effective for the healthcare system.

“…Achieving stable, localized drug delivery requires a multifaceted material design strategy to ensure prolonged adhesion and desired drug release kinetics. ,, From the perspective of adhesion, the design of a tough matrix with tissue-bonding surface groups forms the basis for realizing a robust, long-term residence. From the perspective of drug delivery, the mesh size of the matrix, drug-polymer interactions, and matrix degradation kinetics are key factors for determining the drug delivery rate .…”

“…[1,2] The traditional wound dressings have many problems such as easy adherence to the wound area to cause collateral damage, being too dry to slow down the speed of wound healing, and low antibacterial capability to lead to infection. [3][4][5][6] An ideal wound dressing should have the following characteristics: 1) fit closely to the wound but without strong adhesion or too easy to be removed, 2) good moisturization and water keeping ability, 3) good air permeability, and 4) efficient antibacteria capability. [7][8][9][10] To realize these requirements, the simple wound treatment using gel materials blended with specific medicine or solid cover coated with antibacteria layer are thus inefficient.…”

“…[4][5][6] To deal with these problems, a huge amount of efforts has been made, for example, some reports utilized protein [7,8] and antibacterial agents [9][10][11] to heal the wounds; however, these problems are still a challenge to medicine.
