Abstract:Objective To prepare a new type of chemical and photothermal non-antibiotic wound antibacterial dressing for bacterial infections. Methods The sponge-ike skeleton of photothermal antibacterial dressing SA/APP/Fe3+ (SAF) was prepared by freeze-drying in situ and non-covalent crosslinking using Fe3+, sodium alginate, and apple polyphenol. Its biological safety, hemostatic ability and bactericidal ability were testified by in vitro experiments. Results Under near-infrared radiation, SAF antibacterial dressing killed nearly 80% of Staphylococcus aureus and 85% of Escherichia coli. The cell survival rate of SAF antibacterial dressing was more than 95%, and hemolysis rate was 6.75%. Compared with gauze, SAF antibacterial dressing reduced blood loss by 26% and hemostatic time by 76%. Conclusion This antibacterial dressing has strong antibacterial effect, high biological safety and hemostatic ability.
