Highly elastic and breathable PTFE/hydrogel hierarchically compounded dressings for multi-functional protection and rapid wound healing

evaluation under simulated multiple conditions (rain/bacteria/dust) demonstrates that the PTFE/hydrogel dressing achieved 80.95% wound closure on day 6, significantly outperforming gauze (60.7%) and commercial alternatives (42.7%). Overall, the PTFE/hydrogel dressing has high potential as a novel flexible dressing for accelerating wound healing.
