To review conventional and advanced gelatin-based wound dressings that overcome the mechanical weakness and rapid degradation of native gelatin.
Systematically evaluated preclinical literature on hybrid gelatin biomaterials, including metal-gelatin, natural product-gelatin, and synthetic polymer-gelatin composites.
Assessed comparative outcomes across in vivo murine wound models as well as in vitro degradation and antimicrobial assays.
A silver-gelatin-cellulose hydrogel produced a 92.6% wound healing rate in mice after two weeks, reflecting a 34% increase compared with the silver-free control (69.1%).
Gelatin methacryloyl hydrogels containing reduced graphene oxide stayed intact for 28 days in phosphate-buffered saline, whereas native gelatin degraded within hours.
Gelatin-silver cryogels achieved complete antibacterial activity against infected burn wounds while maintaining superior fluid absorption capacity.
