Polysaccharide Composites as a Wound-Healing Sponge
Ayesha Khalid, Naveera Naeem, Taous Khan and Fazli Wahid
The first wound treatment was designed five millennia ago. Since, then tremendous scientific and technological advancements have been made to design multifunctional wound healing materials. This chapter gives a comprehensive discussion on the molecular and cellular events of wound repair and the biological aspects of polysaccharide-based sponges as a dressing system. Overall, this chapter focuses on the polysaccharides including alginate, cellulose, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, dextran and others. It briefly recaps the recent progress made in developing their composite sponges. Furthermore, the healing performance of these sponges is also discussed in detail.
