Abstract Infected diabetic wound (DW) presents a prolonged and challenging healing process within the field of regenerative medicine. The effectiveness of conventional drug therapies is hindered by their limited ability to reach deep tissues and promote adequate wound healing rates. Therefore, there is an imperative to develop drug delivery systems that can penetrate deep tissues while exhibiting multifunctional properties to expedite wound healing. In this study, w e devised a soluble microneedle (MN) patch made of γ‐PGA, featuring multiple arrays, which w as loaded with core‐shell structured nanoparticles (NPs) known as Ag@MSN@CeO 2 , to enhance the healing of infected DWs. The NP comprises a cerium dioxide (CeO 2 ) core with anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant properties, a mesoporous silica NP (MSN) shell with angiogenic characteristics, and an outermost layer doped with Ag to combat bacterial infections. W e demonstrated that the MN platform loaded with Ag@MSN@CeO 2 successfully penetrated deep tissues for effective drug delivery. These MN tips induced the formation of multiple regenerative sites at various points, leading to antibacterial, reactive oxygen species‐lowering, macrophage ecological niche‐regulating, vascular regeneration‐promoting, and collagen deposition‐promoting effects, thus significantly expediting the healing process of infected DWs. Considering these findings, the multifunctional MN@Ag@MSN@CeO 2 patch exhibits substantial potential for clinical applications in the treatment of infected DW.
