Burn wound management requires multifunctional dressings that can simultaneously maintain a moist healing environment, provide localized analgesia, and prevent microbial colonization. In this study, an advanced bilayer hydrocolloid dressing was developed by integrating a pectin–PVA–lidocaine (LDC) lower layer for i...
