ABSTRACT
An optimal wound dressing can seal variously shaped wounds and provide a complete barrier to resist bacterial invasion; more importantly, the dressing can be stretched or compressed when the wounds are subjected to external forces and quickly return to its original state after the forces are withdrawn. Here, we designed dressings with light-triggered on-site rapid formation of antibacterial hydrogel for the accelerated healing of infected wounds. The pro-hydrogel, composed of acrylamide (AM) and dopamine-hyaluronic acid-ε-poly-l-lysine (DA-HA-EPL), was filled into the Vibrio vulnificus-infected wound. A 405-nm blue light was exerted on the wound to rapidly photopolymerize AM to its polymer, i.e., polyacrylamide (PAM). A hydrogel network of PAM/DA-HA-EPL immediately formed on site within several seconds to insulate the wound. PAM/DA-HA-EPL possessed adhesion performance to adapt to changes in wound morphologies due to external forces. Moreover, it presented high antibacterial ability due to the presence of EPL, in vitro biocompatibility and the ability to promote cell migration. Vibrio vulnificus-infected wounds were established on full-thickness mouse skin, and the hydrogel dressing exhibited high healing efficiency in terms of skin tissue regeneration, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. PAM/DA-HA-EPL is a promising hydrogel dressing for the accelerated healing of infected wounds.
