Abstract

To overcome the drawbacks of single-layered wound dressings, bilayer dressings are now introduced as an alternative to achieve effective and long-term treatment. Here, a bilayer dressing composed of electrospun nanofibers in the bottom layer (BL) and a sponge structure as the top layer (TL) is presented. Hydrophilic poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc)-honey (Hny) with interconnected pores of 76.04 μm was prepared as the TL and keratin (Kr), Hny, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were prepared as the BL. VEGF indicates a gradual release over 7 days, promoting angiogenesis, as proven by the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay and in vivo tissue histomorphology observation. Additionally, the fabricated dressing material indicated a satisfactory tensile profile, cytocompatibility for human keratinocyte cells, and the ability to promote cell attachment and migration. The in vivo animal model demonstrated that the full-thickness wound healed faster when it was covered with PAAc-Hny/Hny-Kr-VEGF than in other groups. Additionally, faster blood vessel formation, collagen synthetization, and epidermal layer generation were also confirmed, which have proven efficient healing acceleration in wounds treated with synthesized bilayer dressings. Our findings indicated that the fabricated material can be promising as a functional wound dressing.
