Abstract
Wound healing is a highly complicated event, involving re-vascularization, and re-epithelialization, followed by cellular proliferation, and tissue remodeling. Recent technological interventions have great potential in managing a healthy wound environment, thus reducing inflammation and healing time while promoting tissue repair. In addition, these inventions enhance the biocompatibility of wounds and improve the patient's quality of life. Major technological breakthroughs include self-healing hydrogels, hydrocolloids, hydro-fibers, surgical sutures, wearable wound monitoring systems, environment-responsive dressings, negative pressure wound therapy devices, growth-factor-based therapy, gene therapy, stem-cell therapy, and bioengineered skin substitutes. This chapter discusses the recent advancements in wound care technologies, focussing on biomaterials, biomaterial devices, and their applications.
