TypeAdvantageApplication

Collagen-based hydrogelForms microenvironment similar to extracellular mechanismsSpontaneous migration of fibroblasts [73], antibacterial [26, 58, 67], and improve mechanical properties [61]
Gelatin-based hydrogelGood biocompatibility, solubilityImproved mechanical properties [59], adhesion [71], antibacterial [68], drug release [65], and regeneration [71]
Fibrin-based hydrogelGood adhesion, biocompatibilityIncrease mechanical strength [62, 63] and regeneration [62]
Chitosan-based hydrogelGood hemostatic propertiesIncrease mechanical strength [72], adhesion [60], antibacterial [74], and drug release [66]
Cellulose-based hydrogelMost distributed, contentIncrease the scope of application [75], antibacterial [69, 75], drug release [69], and regeneration [49]
Hyaluronic acid-based hydrogelGood hydrophilicity, biocompatibilityIncrease mechanical strength [64] and regeneration [76]
Polyethylene glycol-based hydrogelHigh molecular polymerPromote cell proliferation [77], antibacterial [77], and drug release [70]
