High strength “breathable” glycosilicone/Aloe vera polysaccharide-based gel dressing for efficient wound repair

Medical wound dressings are effective in protecting wounds, maintaining moisture, creating an optimal healing environment and accelerating wound healing. However, their deficiencies in mechanical properties, adhesion and prevention of adhesion to the wound bed have been identified as limiting factors for their therapeutic efficacy in wound healing. To address these issues, we prepared glycosilicone gel dressings consisting of hydrophobic polysiloxanes and highly hydrophilic polysaccharides via ester exchange and silicone hydrogen addition reactions. Silicone gel dressings exhibit skin-like "respiratory" properties, with good permeability to O
