Vancomycin-loaded hydrogels with thermal-responsive, self-peeling, and sustainable antibacterial properties for wound dressing

Wound dressings play an important role in wound healing. However, many wound dressings lack antibacterial properties and are difficult to remove from newly grown tissues, causing secondary wound injuries and repeated medical treatment. This study reports a new type of thermal-responsive hydrogel dressing consisting of vancomycin-loaded gelatin nanospheres (GNs) and poly((
