Hyaluronic Acid-Based Scaffolds as Potential Bioactive Wound Dressings

The negative factors that result in delayed and prolonged wound healing process include microbial pathogens, excess wound exudates, underlying conditions, smoking, obesity, etc. Most of the currently used wound dressings demonstrate an inadequate capacity to treat wounds resulting from the factors m...

Aderibigbe1Department of Chemistry, Alice Campus, University of Fort Hare, Alice 5700, Eastern Cape, South AfricaDepartment of Chemistry, Alice Campus, University of Fort Hare, Alice 5700, Eastern Cape, South AfricaThe negative factors that result in delayed and prolonged wound healing process include microbial pathogens, excess wound exudates, underlying conditions, smoking, obesity, etc. Most of the currently used wound dressings demonstrate an inadequate capacity to treat wounds resulting from the factors mentioned above. The commonly used wound dressings include hydrogels, films, hydrocolloids, foams, fibers, sponges, dermal patches, bandages, etc. These wound dressings can be loaded with various types of bioactive agents (e.g., antibiotics, nanoparticles, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.) to improve their therapeutic outcomes. Biopolymers offer interesting properties suitable for the design of wound dressings. This review article will be based on hyaluronic-acid-based scaffolds loaded with therapeutic agents for the treatment of wounds.https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4360/13/13/2102wound dressingsbioactive agentshyaluronic acidwound management
