Title: The Expanding Role of Hydrogels in Medical Device Innovation
Description:
Hydrogels are crosslinked hydrophilic polymer network. Their high‐water content of hydrogels resembles skin is used in biomedical areas such as such as soft contact lenses, ECG electrodes, drug delivery, wound dressings, and tissue engineering. Hydrogels have outstanding and customizable properties , including swelling/shrinking, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and responsiveness to environmental changes. In addition, The hydrogels have multiple formulations, process techniques that change properties. They can be made responsive to pH, temperature, solvent composition, enzymes, electric fields, and light. New hydrogel formulations incorporate additives such as antimicrobials, medications and can improved healing therapies using electrical stimulation. The expanding role of hydrogels show potential to create a new range of new solutions to various healthcare areas in chronic healing, tissue regeneration, and self-healing hydrogel injection. Case studies show a range of applications in the research phase. Product development challenges are high development costs, complex manufacturing, and stringent regulatory standards.
