Application of temperature-sensitive biomaterial "Smart Protective Gel" in infected wounds

Wang Zhizhong, a teacher from the Department of Burn Wound Repair at the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, shared the application of 'Smart Protective Gel' in infected soft tissue wounds on the neck.

The patient has extensive redness and swelling on the back of the neck, significant tenderness upon palpation, purulent discharge, and limited neck movement.

After local incision and drainage, and thorough debridement, a small amount of necrotic tissue remained at the base. A small amount of silver sulfadiazine cream was applied to the base, followed by 'Smart Healing Gel.' The purpose of using 'Smart Healing Gel' is: 1. To utilize its temperature-sensitive properties to create a moist healing environment. 2. To utilize its eschar-dissolving and necrotic tissue-removing functions to dissolve the necrotic tissue.

The dressing was changed every other day. The necrotic tissue disappeared after a week, and the wound was sutured and closed after 11 days, and the wound healed completely.

The treatment regimen of 'Intelligent Protective Gel + Silver Sulfadiazine' can effectively control wound infection in the early stage, quickly dissolve necrotic tissue, and provide a strong impetus for wound healing in a moist healing environment, enabling the wound to heal within 11 days and achieving good therapeutic results.
