Abstract Eutectogels, a family of emerging materials, integrate the characteristics deep eutectic solvents (DES) and gels, presenting unique application potential in biomedical engineering. However, latest progress eutectogels their applications field remain to be summarized refined. This review first introduces composition properties generated by interaction between DES gel matrix. Subsequently, classifications advantages are comprehensively discussed according cross‐linked preparation methods, including physical, chemical, multiple cross‐linked. By analyzing eutectogels, such as mechanical performance, thermal properties, conductivity, injectability, structure‐function relationships, is overviewed. Then, eutectogel's prospects engineering elaborated detail, drug delivery improve stability precise control release, enhancing curative effects reducing side effects. Also, functional utilization tissue engineering, biosensing, bioadhesives, related domains explored. Finally, existing challenges prospective research directions delineated.
