Abstract:
As a new type of functional wound dressing, conductive hydrogel, shows broad prospects of application in the field of wound repair due to its suitable electrical conductivity, good moisture retention, excellent biocompatibility, and biological effects such as mediating cell migration and proliferation, and promoting angiogenesis and collagen deposition. Combined with the clinical electrical stimulation therapy, the conductive hydrogel primarily showed curative effects of promoting granulation tissue formation, re-epithelialization, and wound healing, providing a new treatment idea for the repair of diabetic wounds. This review summarized the research advances of electronic conductive hydrogels and ionic conductive hydrogels in recent years based on different conductive mechanisms. Meanwhile, the applications of conductive hydrogel in the diabetic wound repair were specifically introduced, and the future development of conductive hydrogel wound dressing was prospected.
