Hypoxia in chronic wounds impairs the activities of reparative cells, resulting in tissue necrosis, bacterial infections, decreased angiogenesis, and delayed wound healing. To achieve effective oxygenation therapy and restore oxygen homeostasis, oxygen-generating hydrogels based on different oxygen sources have been developed to release dissolved oxygen in the wound bed, which not only alleviate hypoxia, but also accelerate chronic wound healing.
