Succinic Ester-Based Shape Memory Gelatin Sponge for Noncompressible Hemorrhage without Hindering Tissue Regeneration.

Shape memory sponges are very promising in stopping the bleeding from noncompressible and narrow entrance wounds. However, few shape memory sponges have fast degradable properties in order to not hinder tissue healing. In this work, based on cryopolymerization, a succinic ester-based sponge (Ssponge) is fabricated using gelatin and Bi-polyethylene glycol-succinimidyl succinate (Bi-PEG-SS). Compared with the commercially available gelatin sponge (Csponge), Ssponge possesses better water/blood absorption ability and higher mechanical pressure over the surrounding tissues. Moreover, in the models of massive liver hemorrhage after transection and noncompressive liver wounds by penetration, Ssponge exhibits a better hemostasis performance than Csponge. Furthermore, in a liver regeneration model, Ssponge-treated livers shows higher regeneration speed compared with Csponge, including a lower injury score, more cavity-like tissues, less fibrosis and enhanced tissue regeneration. Overall, it is shown that Ssponge, with a fast degradation behavior, is not only highly efficient in stopping bleeding but also not detrimental for tissue healing, possessing promising clinical translational potential.
