hydrogel, the smart way into wound care

Abstract - wounds can become chronic if they exceed the threshold diameter and the body s ability to self-heal, leading to potentially fatal outcomes. fortunately, biocompatible hydrogel wound dressings produced by 3d printing offer new therapeutic options. 3d printing software designs and a computerized device produce the wound dressings. hydrogel can also be loaded with various drugs and deal with some challenges. in this review, we examine temperature-sensitive hydrogels and some of the latest developments in the field of biocompatible hydrogen wound dressing using 3d printing and its challenges are discussed.
