An effective dressing is essential for wound healing. In fact, the wettability performance is one of the most important factors of a wound dressing. The fundamental functions of a wound dressing involve the absorption of excess exudates and maintenance of optimal moisture at the wound by controlling water evaporation. Here, we designed a type of chitosan (CS) sponge and PCL nanofibrous membrane composite dressing with asymmetric wettability surfaces as wound healing materials for biomedical applications. The hydrophobic surfaces of the composite dressing were waterproof and could efficiently control the water vapor transmission rate, whereas the hydrophilic surface of the CS sponge had good cytocompatibility and water-absorbing capability. Insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) was added to the CS sponge, and exhibited a stimulatory effect on fibroblasts migration and proliferation. Therefore, the fabricated CS sponge and PCL membrane composite dressing had excellent cytocompatibility, vapor transmission rate, and liquid absorption and asymmetric wettability, suggesting its potential as a promising alternative to traditional wound dressing.
