Sumario: | [Image: see text] As novel wound dressings, cryogels with rapid hemostatic property and good sterilization effect are urgently desirable for wound healing. To reduce the use of antibiotics, antibacterial photothermal therapy with broad-spectrum bactericidal capacity and non-obvious bacterial resistance has been widely researched. However, photothermal agents usually suffer from poor hemostatic ability. In this research, sodium alginate (SA) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were non-covalently cross-linked in suit by ferric ions to obtain SA/EGCG/Fe (SEF) cryogels after lyophilization as an antibacterial wound dressing. Next, its photothermal performance was intensively assessed. Moreover, its hemostasis and bactericidal effect were evaluated. First, it displayed extraordinary photothermal ability owing to the formation of Fe(3+)/EGCG-based metal phenolic networks (MPNs) inside the SEF cryogel. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo assays illustrated that it exhibits rapid hemostatic capacity owing to its high porosity and MPN-mediated cell adhesion capacity. In conclusion, the SEF cryogel manifests satisfactory hemostatic and bactericidal properties. Therefore, it is a promising wound-dressing candidate for clinical applications. |
