Vacuum sealing drainage system combined with an antibacterial jackfruit aerogel wound dressing and 3D printed fixation device for infections of skin soft tissue injuries.

ABSTRACT: Injuries and infections of skin and soft tissue are commonly encountered in primary health care and are challenging to manage. Vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) is generally used in clinical treatment, but current commercial methods of VSD have some disadvantages, such as easy blockage, nonantibacterial effects, and inconvenient curved surfaces. Herein, we report a functional zinc oxide/jackfruit aerogel (ZnO/JFA) composite material that is ultralight, superabsorbent and antibacterial as a new antibacterial VSD wound dressing. The JFA is carbonized from fresh jackfruit, and the JFA exhibits superhydrophilicity and superabsorbability. The water absorption rate of JFA was up to 1209.39%, and the SBF absorption rate was up to 1384.22%. The water absorption rate of ZnO/JFA was up to 494.47%, and t
