Abstract

The use of biomaterials in treating and managing chronic wounds represents a significant challenge in global healthcare due to the complex nature of these wounds, which are slow to heal and can lead to complications such as frequent infections and diminished quality of life for patients. Chronic wounds, which can arise from conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, and pressure sores, pose distinct challenges in wound care, necessitating the development of specialized dressings. The pathophysiology of chronic wounds is thoroughly examined in this article, with particular attention paid to the cellular and molecular defects at work and the therapeutic guidelines. It also identifies key issues in the field, such as biocompatibility, cost-effectiveness, immune reactions, and regulatory obstacles, while suggesting future research focuses on improving biocompatibility, integrating drug delivery systems, and exploring cellular treatments. Ethical implications, such as patient safety, informed consent, and equitable access to technology, are also discussed. Finally, this review highlights the transformative potential of biomaterials in chronic wound management, urging for continued research and clinical integration to fully harness their capabilities in improving patient care.
