The microenvironment of diabetic wounds is exceptionally complex, characterized notably by persistent bacterial infections and the excessive production reactive oxygen species (ROS). Traditional treatment methods often fall short achieving ideal results. Consequently, there an urgent need to develop implement more advanced efficient strategies effectively address complexity recalcitrance wounds. This study pioneers a novel approach fabricating silk fibroin-based nonwoven dressing (SF-Ag-HCA) under neutral conditions, integrating silver ions with dihydrocaffeic acid-modified fibroin. Uniquely, this achieves dual functionality: exceptional antibacterial efficacy against common pathogens (E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa) robust ROS-scavenging capabilities, mitigating oxidative stress promoting immune homeostasis. SF-Ag-HCA not only surpasses conventional materials in regulating wound but also accelerates re-epithelialization collagen deposition. Animal studies further validate its superior performance healing infected compared commercial alternatives. innovative represents significant advancement care, offering integrated, cost-effective solution tailored for complex chronic management.
