By designing a micro-electro-Nanofiber dressing composed of piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) integrated with antimicrobial silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), this research aims to address the dual challenges of promoting effective wound healing and maintaining joint mobility.Methods: Herein, we developed a novel micro-electro-Nanofiber dressing using electrospinning technology, incorporating polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The optimized PVDF-AgNPs Nanofiber dressings exhibited strong piezoelectric effects suitable for joint wounds.Results: In vitro experiments demonstrated that the dressing effectively promoted fibroblast migration and collagen synthesis. In vivo, the dressing exhibited a trend of rapid healing in infected wounds within 12 days while modulating macrophage differentiation toward the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Additionally, the incorporation of antimicrobial nanosilver effectively controlled local infections, further facilitating the healing process.Conclusion: To sum up, by harnessing the piezoelectric effect to stimulate endogenous healing mechanisms without restricting joint mobility, the developed PVDF-AgNPs Nanofiber dressings represent a transformative approach for the treatment of wounds in highly mobile body areas.
