High‐Efficiency Antibacterial Hemostatic AgNP@Zeolite/Chitin/Bamboo Composite Sponge for Wound Healing without Heat Injury

Abstract Chitin is a popular hemostatic material, but there are still many deficiencies in its ability to effectively stop bleeding, prevent infection, and fit wounds. Herein, AgNP@zeolite/chitin/bamboo (AgZ‐CB) composite sponges with shape recovery are prepared to minimize blood loss, kill bacteria, and promote wound healing. Notably, the bamboo powder is used for the first time to remarkably enhance the softness of the composite sponge (volumetric expansion ratio >5). The fabricated AgZ‐CB sponge exhibits an excellent killing effect (≈100% bactericidal rate) against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and activates internal and external coagulation pathways to accelerate hemostasis without causing thermal damage (≈5 °C temperature difference). Moreover, the AgZ‐CB sponge shows less blood loss (26 mg) and a shorter time to hemostasis (42 s) than the commercial polyvinyl formal sponge (84 mg and 76 s) in the full‐thickness liver injury model. The in vivo wound healing and biodegradation experiment indicate that AgZ‐CB with excellent biocompatibility can close wounds efficiently. Overall, the AgZ‐CB sponge has great potential in combating a series of obstacles in wound healing.
