Introduction: Deep, second- and third-degree burn injuries may lead to irreversible damage to the traumatized tissue and to coagulation or thrombosis of the microvessels, further compromising wound healing. Engineered, morphologically gradient drug-eluting nanofiber dressings promote wound healing by mimicking tissue structure and providing sustained drug delivery, which is particularly beneficial for wound management.

Methods: This study exploited a resorbable, radially aligned nanofiber dressing that provides the sustained gradient release of metformin at the wound site using a pin-ring electrospinning technique and a differential membrane-thickness approach.
