Biological Properties of Glycerohydrogels Based on a Mixture of Chitosan Hydrochloride with Glucomannan, Formed In Situ on the Wound Surface
摘要
Hybrid hydrogels formed in situ on the wound surface are considered promising materials for reconstruction and therapy. This paper examines the dermo- ex vivo and mucoadhesive properties in vitro, as well as the antibacterial, hemostatic, and wound-healing activity in vitro and in vivo of glycerohydrogels based on chitosan hydrochloride, glucomannan, silicon tetraglycerolate (a sol-gel precursor), and functional additives. When applied to an intact or wounded dermal surface, the gel-forming composition results in the formation of a protective glycerohydrogel coating (gel film) with explicit adhesive and sorption properties forms in situ within 3–5 minutes. This coating exhibits bacteriostatic and haemostatic action, as well as wound-healing activity. In vivo evaluation of the wound-healing effect showed a statistically significant reduction in skin restoration time compared to the control, allowing us to recommend glycerohydrogel films as effective bioresorbable wound dressings.
