- Sustainable hydrogel dressings were created using chitosan and polyvinyl pyrrolidone and enhanced with zinc or zinc-silver nanocages for wound healing.
- The dressings demonstrated excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties, promoting a moisture-balanced environment that supports rapid healing.
- Testing showed that these dressings are safe for skin cells and led to significant healing (up to 69% in 7 days) through reduced inflammation and enhanced cell growth factors.
