Effective and affordable wound treatment is a worldwide challenge due to the cost and problems associated with wound healing, including infections, prolonged recovery, or chronic wound creation. The development of new transparent materials to monitor the wound site can reduce the occurrence of infection by monitoring the wound. Wound management demands multifunctional materials with a pro-healing effect for healing acceleration and support scarless healing. Natural polysaccharide gum Karaya (GK) is a gel-forming polymer with high swelling and water retention used for its abundance, easy processing, and, more importantly, for its naturally occurring antimicrobial activity. The addition of synthetic biopolymer poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) increases the mechanical strength of the final hydrogel dressing by creating a stable porous, 3D network, and its combination with glycerol and GK form a transparent hydrogel dressing suitable for wound treatment.
