Abstract:
Burn wounds pose great challenges for conventional dressings because massive exudates oversecreted from swollen tissues and blisters seriously delay wound healing. Herein, a self‐pumping organohydrogel dressing with hydrophilic fractal microchannels is reported that can rapidly drain excessive exudates with ≈30 times enhancement in efficiency compared with the pure hydrogel, and effectively promote burn wound healing. A creaming‐assistant emulsion interfacial polymerization approach is proposed to create the hydrophilic fractal hydrogel microchannels in the self‐pumping organohydrogel through a dynamic floating‐colliding‐coalescing process of organogel precursor droplets. In a murine burn wound model, the rapid self‐pumping organohydrogel dressings can markedly reduce dermal cavity by ≈42.5%, accelerate blood vessel regeneration by ≈6.6 times, and hair follicle regeneration by ≈13.5 times, compared with the commercial dressing (Tegaderm). This study paves an avenue for designing high‐performance functional burn wound dressings.
