In recent years, health care providers have seen an increase in the
number of patients with difficult-to-treat wounds and burns. The bio
polymer-based wound dressing shields the injured part and aids in the
recapture of epithelial and dermal tissues throughout the process of
healing. The total count of a person with chronic lesions has been
expanding whole due to developing society, over weight and
cardiovascular illness. The development of ideal wound dressing material
with excellent characteristics like antimicrobial activity,
biocompatibility, free radical scavenging capacity, non-adherent
property, the hydrophilicity of alginate, cellulose, chitosan, collagen
has an increasing demand for the treatment of chronic wounds.
Nevertheless, owing to the above mention property, natural polymers are
being used for several key functions of biomedicine like narcotic
distribution systems, tissue manufacturing, bandages etc. accordingly,
the significance of these bio-based polymers interfered with healing
functions that lead to inform and inspire youth and scientist
researchers worldwide to grab with these far-reaching areas of medicine
and biology. The review highlights the physiochemical property of
natural polymer, biological evaluation of various materials as wound
dress, along with their synthesis and mechanical properties, clinical
status, challenges and future perspectives.
