This invention relates to the field of medical technology, specifically to an injectable
antioxidant hydrogel adapted to the mechanical properties of the
nucleus pulposus, its preparation method, and its applications. The hydrogel uses a polypeptide-
polymer copolymer as its backbone, and by adjusting the
polymer network structure to match the mechanical properties of the
nucleus pulposus, it achieves synergistic optimization of
antioxidant properties, mechanical support, and
biocompatibility. Because it does not rely on any
drug bioactive factors, it can also effectively solve the problems of burst release and over-release of loaded drugs, exhibiting excellent overall performance and possessing broad market application potential.
