A unidirectional water-transport antibacterial bilayer nanofibrous dressing based on chitosan for accelerating wound healing.

Excessive accumulation of exudate from wounds often causes infection and hinders skin regeneration. To handle wound exudate quickly and prevent infection, we developed an antibacterial Janus nanofibrous dressing with a unidirectional water-transport function. The dressing consists of a hydrophilic chitosan aerogel (CS-A) as the outer layer and a hydrophobic laurylated chitosan (La-CS) nanofibrous membrane as the inner layer.

A wet-adhesive carboxymethylated yeast β-glucan sponge with radical scavenging, bacteriostasis and anti-inflammatory functions for rapid hemostasis.

Local hemostats still face obstacles to efficiently achieving hemostasis and promoting wound healing. Herein, a series of multifunctional well-degradable hemostatic sponges based-on carboxymethylated yeast β-glucan (CMYG) were fabricated by lyophilization. The porous CMYG sponge not only could absorb blood quickly (44.
