To prevent postoperative complications, there has been a substantial interest in designing syringe-injectable hydrogels. To date, cryogels remain the only viable option for preformed and large-scale hydrogels to be delivered through a conventional needle-syringe injection. Cryogels, a type of hydrogel with exceptional features, are fabricated at subzero temperatures. This process typically results in a biomaterial with a unique macroporous network, shape-memory properties, and exceptional flexibility allowing syringe injectability. These advanced biomaterials have been used for a number of biomedical applications, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, and more recently, immunotherapy. This review summarizes the recent progress on the design of injectable cryogels, their current limitations, and strategies to further improve their properties for translatability into the clinic.
