In situ bioprinting has emerged as an attractive tool for directly depositing therapy ink at the defective area to adapt to the irregular wound shape. However, traditional bioprinting exhibits an obvious limitation in terms of an unsatisfactory bioadhesive effect. Here, a portable handheld bioprinter loaded with biomaterial ink is designed and named "SkinPen". Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and Cu-containing bioactive glass nanoparticles (Cu-BGn) serve as the main components to form the hydrogel ink, which displays excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial and angiogenic properties. More importantly, by introducing ultrasound and ultraviolet in a sequential programmed manner, the SkinPen achieves in situ instant gelation and amplified (more than threefold) bioadhesive shear strength. It is suggested that ultrasound-induced cavitation and the resulting topological entanglement contribute to the enhanced bioadhesive performance together. Combining the ultrasound-enhanced bioadhesion with the curative role of the hydrogel, the SkinPen shows a satisfactory wound-healing effect in diabetic rats. Given the detachable property of the SkinPen, the whole device can be put in a first-aid kit. Therefore, the application scenarios can be expanded to many kinds of accidents. Overall, this work presents a portable handheld SkinPen that might provide a facile but effective approach for clinical wound management.
原位生物打印已成为一种有吸引力的工具,可将治疗性墨水直接沉积在缺损部位,以适应不规则的伤口形状。然而,传统生物打印在生物粘附效果不理想方面存在明显局限性。在此,设计了一种装载生物材料墨水的便携式手持生物打印机,并将其命名为“SkinPen”。甲基丙烯酸明胶(GelMA)和含铜生物活性玻璃纳米颗粒(Cu-BGn)作为主要成分形成水凝胶墨水,该墨水具有优异的生物相容性以及抗菌和促血管生成特性。更重要的是,通过按顺序编程引入超声波和紫外线,SkinPen实现了原位即时凝胶化和增强(超过三倍)的生物粘附剪切强度。研究表明,超声诱导的空化作用以及由此产生的拓扑缠结共同促成了生物粘附性能的增强。将超声增强的生物粘附与水凝胶的治疗作用相结合,SkinPen在糖尿病大鼠中显示出令人满意的伤口愈合效果。鉴于SkinPen的可拆卸特性,整个装置可以放入急救箱中。因此,其应用场景可扩展到多种事故。总体而言,这项工作展示了一种便携式手持SkinPen,它可能为临床伤口管理提供一种简便而有效的方法。
