Zwitterionic Dual-Network Hydrogel Patch with Anti-Inflammatory Property for Efficient Peritoneal Adhesion Prevention

Key Points

• The dual-network hydrogel patch reduces peritoneal adhesion, promoting better post-surgical outcomes.
• Key evidence shows significant reduction of adhesion in animal models following surgery.
• Development involved a zwitterionic hydrogel formulation designed for enhanced anti-inflammatory effects.
• The findings imply a promising approach that may improve patient recovery post-abdominal surgery.
