polysaccharide - waterborne polyurethane hydrogel as a wound dressing.

Polysaccharides are widely used in biomedicine because of their unique biological activity, low costs, and easy-to-obtain. In this paper, polysaccharide (BSP) was integrated into waterborne polyurethane (WPU) to prepare a series of WPU-BSP (WPUB) hydrogels. The hydrogels showed good compressive strength, water absorption and retention ability, which are favorable for wound healing.
