description Wound healing has become one of the basic issues faced by the medical community because of the susceptibility of skin wounds to bacterial infection. As such, it is highly desired to design a nanocomposite hydrogel with excellent antibacterial activity to achieve high wound closure effectiveness. Here, based on ultrasound-triggered piezocatalytic therapy, a multifunctional hydrogel is designed to promote bacteria-infected wound healing. Under ultrasonic vibration, the surface of barium titanate (BaTiO3, BT) nanoparticles embedded in the hydrogel rapidly generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) owing to the established strong built-in electric field, endowing the hydrogel with superior antibacterial efficacy. This modality shows intriguing advantages over conventional photodynamic therapy, such as prominent soft tissue penetration ability and the avoidance of serious skin phototoxicity after systemic administration of photosensitizers. Moreover, the hydrogel based on N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]acrylamide (THM), N-(3-aminopropyl)methacrylamide hydrochloride (APMH) and oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) exhibits outstanding self-healing and bioadhesive properties able to accelerate full-thickness skin wound healing. Notably, compared with the widely reported mussel-inspired adhesive hydrogels, OHA/THM-APMH hydrogel due to the multiple hydrogen bonds from unique tri-hydroxyl structure overcomes the shortage that catechol groups are easily oxidized, giving it long-term and repeatable adhesion performance. Importantly, this hybrid hydrogel confines BT nanoparticles to wound area and locally induced piezoelectric catalysis under ultrasound to eradicate bacteria, markedly improving the therapeutic biosafety and exhibits great potential for harmless treatment of bacteria-infected tissues.
