The skin is the largest organ in the human body and performs many essential functions, which can be compromised when the epidermis is damaged, exposing the dermis to air and resulting in a wound. Traditional dressings, although inexpensive and capable of absorbing blood and secretions, have some disadvantages such as adhesion to tissues that causes pain upon removal. In contrast, modern dressings, such as those based on hydrogels, are easy to remove, offer biocompatibility and biodegradability, and can be enriched with active substances or natural extracts with therapeutic properties. This thesis focuses on the development and characterization of a methacrylated pectin (PECMA) based bioink, preliminarily exploring its application for wound treatment.
