polysaccharide fibers in wound management

摘要

The.future.of.fiber.technology.for.medical.applications.depends.largely.on.the.future.needs.of.our.civilization..The.use.of.new.fibers.for.healthcare.textiles.application.has.increased.rapidly.over.the.past.quarter.of.a.century..With.the.recent.advances.in.tissue.engineering,.drug.delivery,.and.gene.delivery‐.alginate,.chitin/chitosan. and. their.derivatives.present.a.novel.and.useful.class.of.biomaterials....Hence.small.changes. in. their.molecular.structure.can.bring.large.changes.in.their.interactions.with.components.of.biological.tissues.or.drugs..These.polymers.are.excellent.candidates.for.applications.in.the.biomedical.field.because.of.their.versatili ty,.biocompatibility,.bio.absorbability.and.significant.absence.of.cytotoxicity...Wound. healing. rate. depends. mainly. on. proper. dressing. materials..Over.the.last.few.years.there.has.been.a.rapidly.expanding.interest. in.polysaccharides.from.both.a.fundamental.viewpoint.and.also.from.an.applications.viewpoint..With.different.varieties.of.polysaccharides.in.modern.wound.dressings,.this.article.discusses.the.effective.utilizati on.of.polysaccharide.fibers.like.alginate,.chitin.and.chitosan.for.the.medical.application,.specifically.for.wound.management..Further.it.explains.the.current.research.status.and.also.summarizes.the.different.findings.of.researchers
