The objective of this work was to assess the potential of polyvinyl alcohol/casein (PVA/CAS) hydrogels to be used as dressings for OXM delivery. CAS can stimulate the immune system, while PVA is one of the most used synthetic polymers in the composition of hydrogels for medical applications. Six different hydrogel formulations were prepared following different procedures: freeze-thawing (FT) and cast drying (CD) for 24 or 48 h, with and without the addition of genipin (GE), a crosslinking agent. The hydrogels were loaded with OXM, and their release behaviour was studied. PVA/CAS-24CD + GE showed the best release profile.
