Abstract
Hydrogels are hydrophilic but water-soluble polymer systems with a three-di-mensional network structure. They can absorb large amounts of water and maintain their shape and remain soft. The high-moisturizing properties, good biocompatibility, and controlled biodegradability of hydrogels have allowed them to be widely used in wound dressing, tissue engineering, controlled drug delivery systems, and other fields. This arti-cle reviews the most widely used antibacterial gel dressings for wound healing in recent years and focuses on the application of an environmentally responsive intelligent hydro-gel delivery system. Finally, the development prospects and challenges of hydrogel wound dressings are forecasted.
