Self-contracting oxidized starch/gelatin hydrogel for noninvasive wound closure and wound healing

Self-contracting oxidized starch/gelatin hydrogel for noninvasive wound closure and wound healing

Major challenges in traditional wound closure methods (e.g. using sutures and skin staplers) remain inadequately unaddressed; these invasive treatments induce extra puncture wounds, anesthetic side effects, and severe scarring. Herein, an oxidized starch/gelatin-based shape memory hydrogel (OSG) was...
