Abstract

Burns affect 11 million people globally each year with 180,000 associated fatalities. This study proposes a multilayer hybrid dressing combining a silk fibroin (SF) textile with decellularized porcine small intestine (dPSI) capable of simultaneously provide wound protection and tissue regeneration. A silk sericin (SS) hydrogel was embedded into the decellularized tissue ensuring the integration with the textile layer while promoting anti-inflammatory benefits, enhancing the hybrid dressing’s biological performance.
