A light-activatable CO-releasing hydrogel with synergistic antibacterial activity promotes infected wound healing

Key Points

• Promotes infected wound healing through enhanced antibacterial activity in a light-activatable manner.
• Key evidence indicates a significant synergy in antibacterial effects when applied to infected wounds.
• Assessment using a co-releasing hydrogel model evaluated its efficacy in promoting healing in infected environments.
• Highlights potential for new treatment strategies, as results may lead to more effective infection management.
