Wound dressings play a crucial role in protecting injured tissues and promoting the healing process. Traditional fabrication of antibacterial wound dressings can be complex and may involve toxic components. In this study, we developed an innovative hydrogel film (AP:GE@OTA/Ag) composed of amidated pectin (AP), gelatin (GE), oxidized tannic acid (OTA) at varying concentrations, and in-situ reduced silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). FTIR and XRD analyses confirmed that crosslinking occurs via interactions between OTA quinone groups and free amino groups in AP and GE. TEM imaging demonstrated the well-dispersed AgNPs with an average particle size of 58.64 nm, while the TG measurements indicated the enhancement of the thermal stability compared to AP:GE films. The AP:GE@OTA/Ag films exhibited superior fluid uptake ability (90.96 % at 2 h), water retention capacity (91.69 % at 2 h), and water vapor transmission rate (1903.29 g/m2/day), alongside improved tensile strength (38 MPa). Additionally, these films showed excellent cytocompatibility and sustained potent antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and E. coli with low AgNPs loadings of 1.02 ± 0.13 μg/cm2. NIT-1 mouse insulinoma cells demonstrated robust proliferation when cultured with the prepared dressings. These films significantly accelerated wound repair in a skin excision model, indicating their potential clinical applications for wound healing.
