Aspects to be considered in fabricating a feasible honey hydrogel wound dressing.
Aspects | Outcomes |
---|---|
The type, dilution, and concentration of honey | The healing efficacy of hydrogel in different wound applications |
The ratio of polymers and honey | A desirable dressing for various wounds |
The hydrogel's thickness and porosity | A desirable dressing for wounds with varying severity and depths |
The hydrogel's thermal degradation | A desirable dressing for various wounds, especially burn wounds |
The production process, conditions, and cost concerning honey hydrogel | An affordable and commercialized hydrogel dressing |
Exploring other polymers besides those discussed | A honey hydrogel with enhanced wound‐healing properties via various combinations of polymers |
Exploring mixtures of synthetic and natural materials for hydrogel 95 | An enhanced hydrogel wound dressing that can respond to changes from harsh external environments 95 |
