bioactive compound that accelerates wound healing. The dressing is expected to modulate the wound microenvironment, allowing easy access of antimicrobial agents to the bacteria, and promoting angiogenesis simultaneously. The synergistic design is intended to accelerate wound closure while minimizing excessive antimicrobial use. This technology will be evaluated for its antimicrobial efficacy, biofilm disruption capability, and wound healing performance in relevant in vitro and in vivo models, with the long-term goal of enabling more effective and sustainable management of chronic wound infections.
