Development of Natural Active Agent-Containing Porous Hydrogel Sheets with High Water Content for Wound Dressings

Gels, 2023
This work was concerned with the fabrication of a porous hydrogel system suitable for medium to heavy-exudating wounds where traditional hydrogels cannot be used. The hydrogels were based on 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid (AMPs).
