Berberine coated biocomposite hemostatic film based alginate as absorbable biomaterial for wound healing
2022
In wound treatment, severe bleeding and infection are always primary challenges. Therefore, it is highly desired to develop novel dressing with both hemostatic and antibacterial capability. Herein, a series of biocomposite hemostatic films (BHFs) based alginate/chitosan/collagen-berberine have been prepared and well characterized for further biofunctional study. We have demonstrated that the hemostatic and antibacterial activities were significantly enhanced by calcium/berberine dual-crosslinking system in the film. Through the synergistic effects, BHF-6B exhibited a shorter in vivo clotting and wound healing time than that of commercial dressing in rat tail amputation and full-thickness skin defect models. Additionally, BHF-6B showed excellent bacteriostatic activity with long-term effects. Moreover, hemolysis and cytotoxicity tests in vitro illustrated the prominent biocompatibility of the composite films. Notably, BHF-6B could be degraded quickly and completely in vivo. Overall, the present work indicated that the functionalized BHF-6B has great potential as an absorbable biomaterial for wound treatment.
