Abstract

Joint wound dressings are currently significantly limited in their clinical applications due to their inferior mechanical properties and single therapeutic effect. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a versatile joint wound dressing that integrates adequate stretchability, desirable biocompatibility, and multiple biological effects into one system. We implemented the electrospinning technique in this study to fabricate a novel nanofibrous membrane (NFM) composed of gelatin (GEL) and astragalus polysaccharides (APS), termed GEL/APS NFM. The selection of GEL and APS confers excellent biocompatibility to GEL/APS NFM. Furthermore, the optimally proportioned GEL/APS NFM exhibits satisfactory stretchability and desirable wound healing efficiency. Furthermore, released APS can exert anti-inflammatory, procollagen deposition, and proangiogenic effects to accelerate epithelial tissue, enhancing joint wound healing. In summary, GEL/APS NFM offers a convenient and effective approach to promoting rapid joint wound healing, providing a novel approach to joint wound care.
