[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0034] According to a first aspect of the present application, a hydrogel wound dressing is provided, comprising a hydrogel layer, a support layer and a protective layer, the hydrogel layer being prepared from the following raw material components in mass ratio: 12% polyvinylpyrrolidone, 6% polycaprolactone, 3% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, 2% chitosan, 1% nano-silver, 0.2% vitamin E, 0.05% growth factor, 0.3% temperature-sensitive polymer, 0.1% graphene quantum dots, 1% polyurethane-based self-healing polymer, 1% polyacrylic acid, 0.2% nano-titanium dioxide, and the balance being deionized water. The support layer is a porous polylactic acid film with a thickness of 0.2 mm, a pore size of 100 microns and a porosity of 60%; the protective layer is a breathable polyurethane film with a thickness of 0.3 mm, a gas permeability of 200 g / m² / 24h and a water vapor transmission rate of 1500 g / m² / 24h.
[0035] Preferably, the self-healing polymer is a polyurethane-based self-healing polymer or a polyacrylic acid-based self-healing polymer.
[0036] The pH-sensitive material is polyacrylic acid or polymethylacrylic acid.
[0037] The thickness of the hydrogel layer is 2-4 mm.
[0038] The antibacterial agent is nano-silver, nano-zinc or nano-copper.
[0039] The antioxidant is vitamin E, butylated hydroxyanisole or tocopherol acetate.
[0040] The pore size of the porous polylactic acid film is 50-200 microns, and the porosity is 50-80%.
[0041] The gas permeability of the breathable polyurethane film is 100-300 g / m² / 24h, and the water vapor transmission rate is 1000-2000 g / m² / 24h.
[0042] The hydrogel wound dressing of the present application has the following remarkable benefits:
[0043] Multiple functions integrated: moisturizing, antibacterial, antioxidant, growth factor, temperature-sensitive, self-healing and environmental responsiveness in one, providing comprehensive care effect.
[0044] Self-healing ability: can automatically restore integrity after physical damage, prolonging the service life.
[0045] For example, diabetic foot ulcers are a common complication that results from poor blood circulation and neuropathy in diabetic patients, leading to slow wound healing and susceptibility to infection. Treating diabetic foot ulcers often requires long-term care and regular dressing changes. However, frequent dressing changes not only increase the financial burden on patients but also increase the risk of infection. In this case, self-healing ability becomes an important feature of hydrogel wound dressings.
[0046] Diabetic foot patients often need to use wound dressings for a long time, and frequent changes can lead to high medical costs. Self-healing dressings can automatically repair after minor damage, prolong the service life, reduce the number of changes, and thus reduce the financial burden on patients.
[0047] Each dressing change increases the risk of infection. Self-healing dressings can reduce the number of changes and reduce the probability of infection caused by frequent handling.
[0048] Diabetic foot patients may accidentally scratch or wear out the dressing during daily activities, causing the dressing to break. Self-healing ability can quickly repair these minor damages, maintain the integrity and functionality of the dressing, and avoid contamination and infection caused by breakage.
[0049] Diabetic foot ulcers are often accompanied by secretions such as pus and blood, which can cause contamination on the surface of the dressing. Self-healing ability can help repair these contaminated areas and restore the cleanliness and antibacterial properties of the dressing.
[0050] Self-healing dressings can provide continuous protection and reduce the discomfort caused by dressing changes. Patients can maintain a closed and moist environment for a longer period of time, which is beneficial for wound healing.
[0051] Long-term use of the same dressing can provide psychological comfort to patients and reduce the psychological burden of frequent dressing changes.
[0052] In the wild or resource-limited environment, self-healing dressings can reduce the need for spare dressings. Even in the absence of medical resources, self-healing ability can ensure the continuous effectiveness of the dressing.
[0053] For patients in remote areas, self-healing dressings can reduce the need for frequent medical visits and improve the feasibility of remote medical services.
[0054] Environmental responsiveness: able to adjust its properties according to changes in the wound environment, providing personalized care.
[0055] Biocompatibility and safety: all components have good biocompatibility and safety, and do not cause immune reactions or allergic reactions.
[0056] Mechanical properties and breathability: Porous polylactic acid films and breathable polyurethane membranes provide good mechanical strength and breathability, protecting the wound from external contamination.
[0057] In summary, the hydrogel wound dressing of the present application significantly improves the wound healing speed and effect, solves the problems of insufficient antibacterial performance, poor self-healing ability and poor environmental responsiveness in the prior art.
[0058] The conductivity of graphene quantum dots can enhance the response speed of pH-sensitive materials, making them adapt to changes in the wound environment more quickly.
[0059] The pH-sensitive material can increase its permeability when the wound environment is acidic, exposing more graphene quantum dots to the wound surface and further enhancing antibacterial performance.
[0060] The self-healing polymer can quickly recover after physical damage, maintaining the integrity of the dressing.
[0061] The pH-sensitive material can adjust its permeability according to changes in the wound environment, allowing the self-healing polymer to work faster where needed.
[0062] The pH-sensitive material can increase its permeability when the wound environment is acidic, allowing more silver nanoparticles to be released from the hydrogel layer.
[0063] The sustained release of silver nanoparticles can maintain long-term antibacterial effects, preventing bacterial regrowth while reducing unnecessary drug waste.
[0064] pH-sensitive materials such as polyacrylic acid or polymethylacrylic acid change their permeability in acidic environments. When the pH value decreases, the molecular chains of these materials undergo conformational changes, causing their structure to become more loose and increasing permeability.
[0065] In an acidic environment, the increased permeability of pH-sensitive materials allows more silver nanoparticles to be released from the hydrogel layer. Silver nanoparticles have broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and can effectively kill bacteria, preventing infection from spreading.
[0066] Nano-zinc or nano-copper: Similarly, these antibacterial agents are also released more in acidic environments, enhancing antibacterial effects.
[0067] Graphene quantum dots: With excellent electrical conductivity and biocompatibility, they can promote nerve regeneration and improve wound healing speed. In an acidic environment, due to the increased permeability of pH-sensitive materials, more graphene quantum dots can be exposed to the wound surface, further enhancing their electrical conductivity and antibacterial properties.
[0068] Specifically, at the initial stage of injury, the wound is usually in the initial stage, the inflammatory response is mild, the pH value is close to neutral, the porosity of the pH-sensitive material (such as polyacrylic acid or polymethylacrylic acid) is small, the permeability is low, and the anti-inflammatory components such as antibacterial agents and antioxidants can be slowly released.
[0069] The graphene quantum dots are distributed inside the hydrogel, but due to the pH value close to neutral, most of the graphene quantum dots are still wrapped in the gel and will not be exposed to the wound surface in large quantities.
[0070] The slow release of anti-inflammatory components helps to reduce the initial inflammatory response, reduce the irritation to the wound, and maintain the stable state of the wound, thereby creating a good environment for subsequent healing.
[0071] As time goes on, the wound begins to appear inflammatory response, the pH value gradually decreases, and presents an acidic environment.
[0072] As time goes on, the wound begins to appear inflammatory response, the pH value gradually decreases, and presents an acidic environment.
[0073] In an acidic environment, the porosity of the pH-sensitive material increases, the permeability increases, and more antibacterial agents and antioxidants are released.
[0074] Due to the increase in the porosity of the pH-sensitive material, more graphene quantum dots can be exposed to the wound surface. These exposed graphene quantum dots have excellent electrical conductivity and biocompatibility, which can promote nerve regeneration and improve the wound healing speed.
[0075] The exposed graphene quantum dots can communicate with the quantum dots on the upper layer of the gel through microcurrent, causing changes in the permeability of the upper layer of the gel, and further releasing more antibacterial substances.
[0076] The rapid release of antibacterial substances can quickly inhibit bacterial growth and reduce inflammatory response, while the electrical conductivity of graphene quantum dots can promote nerve regeneration and accelerate wound healing.
[0077] In the case of severe infection, the wound may appear pus, the pH value further decreases, and presents a strong acidic environment.
[0078] In a strong acidic environment, the porosity of the pH-sensitive material significantly increases, the permeability greatly improves, and almost all antibacterial agents and antioxidants are released.
[0079] A large number of graphene quantum dots are exposed to the wound surface, forming a highly efficient conductive network. These graphene quantum dots not only can communicate through microcurrent to enhance the permeability of the gel, but also can directly interact with the bacterial cell wall to destroy the bacterial structure and enhance the antibacterial effect.
[0080] The conductivity and biocompatibility of graphene quantum dots can also adjust the wound microenvironment, promote tissue repair and regeneration, and reduce inflammation and scar formation.
[0081] In a pus-filled wound, the synergy of pH-sensitive materials and graphene quantum dots can quickly eliminate inflammation, inhibit bacterial growth, promote wound healing, and reduce the risk of infection.
[0082] Self-healing polymer: After physical damage, the self-healing polymer can quickly restore its integrity and maintain the performance of the dressing. In an acidic environment, the self-healing polymer can respond more quickly to physical damage and restore the integrity of the dressing due to the increased permeability of the pH-sensitive material.
[0083] Temperature-sensitive polymer: Adjusts its properties such as permeability and release rate according to temperature changes. In an acidic environment, the temperature-sensitive polymer can better adapt to local temperature changes, further optimizing the performance of the dressing.
[0084] Specifically, temperature-sensitive polymer is a material that can adjust its physical and chemical properties according to temperature changes. In hydrogel wound dressings, temperature-sensitive polymers can adjust their permeability and release rate according to local temperature changes. This feature ensures that the dressing does not release the main ingredients when not applied to the human body, but releases the main ingredients when applied to the human body under conditions close to 37°C, ensuring long-term stable storage and efficient use of the material.
[0085] When not applied to the human body, the temperature-sensitive polymer is in a low-temperature environment (such as room temperature 20-25°C), its structure is relatively tight, the permeability is low, and the main ingredients (such as antibacterial agents, antioxidants, growth factors, etc.) are wrapped inside the hydrogel and cannot be easily released.
[0086] The low-temperature stability of temperature-sensitive polymers ensures that the dressing can remain stable for a long time before use, and will not fail due to premature release of ingredients.
[0087] This feature makes the dressing more convenient during transportation and storage, without the need for special refrigeration conditions, reducing logistics costs.
[0088] When the dressing is applied to the human skin, the local temperature rises to near 37°C, the structure of the temperature-sensitive polymer changes, the permeability increases, and the main ingredients begin to be released slowly.
[0089] In an acidic environment, the porosity of the pH-sensitive material increases, the permeability increases, and the release of the main ingredients is further promoted.
[0090] With the release of the main ingredients, more graphene quantum dots are exposed to the surface of the wound, enhancing its conductivity and antibacterial properties.
[0091] The structural changes of the temperature-sensitive polymer enable it to better adapt to local temperature changes, further optimizing the performance of the dressing and ensuring the sustained and controlled release of ingredients.
[0092] The slow release of the antibacterial agent under conditions close to 37°C enables continuous bacterial killing and prevents infection.
[0093] The release of antioxidants helps to scavenge free radicals, reduce inflammatory reactions, and promote wound healing.
[0094] The release of growth factors can stimulate cell proliferation and migration, accelerating the wound healing process.
[0095] In inflamed and infected wounds, the local temperature may be slightly elevated, and the temperature-sensitive polymer can respond more quickly to this temperature change, increasing permeability and accelerating the release of main ingredients.
[0096] The synergistic effect of pH-sensitive materials and graphene quantum dots further enhances the release of more antibacterial substances, rapidly inhibiting bacterial growth and reducing inflammatory reactions.
[0097] Nano-titanium dioxide: with photocatalytic antibacterial properties, it can enhance the antibacterial effect of the dressing. In an acidic environment, nano-titanium dioxide synergizes with graphene quantum dots and pH-sensitive materials to further improve antibacterial performance.
[0098] Specifically, when injured, the wound is usually in the initial stage, with mild inflammatory reactions and a pH close to neutral.
[0099] Under light conditions, nano-titanium dioxide can generate reactive oxygen species (such as superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals), which can destroy bacterial cell walls and kill bacteria.
[0100] Graphene quantum dots are distributed inside the hydrogel. Since the pH is close to neutral, most graphene quantum dots are still wrapped in the gel and do not expose a large amount to the wound surface.
[0101] At this time, the porosity of the pH-sensitive material is small, and the permeability is low, which can slowly release anti-inflammatory ingredients such as antibacterial agents and antioxidants.
[0102] The photocatalytic antibacterial properties of nano-titanium dioxide and the slow release of anti-inflammatory ingredients work together to help reduce the initial inflammatory response, reduce irritation to the wound, and maintain a stable state of the wound, thereby creating a good environment for subsequent healing.
[0103] As time goes on, the wound begins to show inflammatory reactions, and the pH gradually decreases, presenting an acidic environment.
[0104] In an acidic environment, the photocatalytic activity of nano-titanium dioxide is enhanced, generating more active oxygen species, further improving the antibacterial effect.
[0105] Due to the increased porosity of the pH-sensitive material, more graphene quantum dots can be exposed to the wound surface. These exposed graphene quantum dots have excellent electrical conductivity and biocompatibility, which can promote nerve regeneration and improve wound healing speed.
[0106] In an acidic environment, the porosity of the pH-sensitive material increases, the permeability increases, and more antibacterial and antioxidant agents are released.
[0107] Exposed graphene quantum dots can communicate with quantum dots on the upper layer of the gel through microcurrent, causing changes in the permeability of the upper layer of the gel, further releasing more antibacterial substances.
[0108] The photocatalytic antibacterial performance of nano-titanium dioxide and the electrical conductivity of graphene quantum dots work together to quickly inhibit bacterial growth, reduce inflammation, and promote nerve regeneration and wound healing.
[0109] In the case of severe infection, the wound may appear to be pus, and the pH value will further decrease, presenting a strong acidic environment.
[0110] In a strong acidic environment, the photocatalytic activity of nano-titanium dioxide reaches the highest, generating a large amount of active oxygen species, which can quickly kill bacteria and reduce infection.
[0111] A large number of graphene quantum dots are exposed to the wound surface, forming a highly efficient conductive network. These graphene quantum dots not only communicate through microcurrent to enhance the permeability of the gel, but also directly interact with bacterial cell walls to destroy bacterial structure, enhancing antibacterial effect.
[0112] In a strong acidic environment, the porosity of the pH-sensitive material significantly increases, the permeability greatly improves, and almost all antibacterial and antioxidant agents are released.
[0113] The electrical conductivity and biocompatibility of graphene quantum dots can also regulate the microenvironment of the wound, promote tissue repair and regeneration, reduce inflammation and scar formation.
[0114] In a pus-filled wound, through the synergistic effect of nano-titanium dioxide, graphene quantum dots and pH-sensitive material, inflammation can be quickly eliminated, bacterial growth can be inhibited, wound healing can be promoted, and the risk of infection can be reduced.
[0115] The preparation method of the hydrogel wound dressing is as follows:
[0116] Material mixing: Polyvinylpyrrolidone, polycaprolactone, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, chitosan, antibacterial agent, antioxidant, growth factor, temperature-sensitive polymer, graphene quantum dots, self-healing polymer, pH-sensitive material, nano-titanium dioxide were added into deionized water in proportion, stirred and dissolved to obtain a mixed solution.
[0117] Degassing: The obtained mixed solution was placed in an ultrasonic cleaner for 10-20 minutes to remove bubbles.
[0118] Pouring into the mold: The mixed solution after degassing was poured into the mold, and the porous polylactic acid film was placed to be completely immersed in the mixed solution.
