Highly Efficient Self‐Healing Multifunctional Dressing with Antibacterial Activity for Sutureless Wound Closure and Infected Wound Monitoring (Adv. Mater. 3/2022)

Wound Healing In article number 2106842, Miaomiao Yuan, Daxiang Cui, Hossam Haick, and co-workers report a novel self-healing elastomer-based multifunctional wound dressing (MFWD) with desirable mechanical robustness, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity for effective wound management. MFWD assists in contracting wound edges, based on the excellent self-healing ability of the elastomer, and enables tracking of the wound health status in real-time via a set of (bio)chemical and physical sensors integrated therein.
