On-Demand Removable Chitosan Based Self-Healing and Antibacterial Hydrogel for Delivery of Tetracycline and Curcumin As Potential Wound Dressing Material

bacteria with enhanced antimicrobial efficiency via loading of antibiotic drug, tetracycline hydrochloride. A sustained release of tetracycline and Curcumin was observed, which demonstrated the release ability for hydrophilic and hydrophobic bioactive agents. In-vitro studies revealed 93% cell viability with a hemolytic ratio as low as 2.5%, thereby presenting a good self-healing and biocompatible material for wound healing.
