Bioactive Polysaccharide Materials for Modern Wound Healing

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((BRIEFSBP))

Abstract

Modern approaches that influence wound healing actively to achieve rapid and complete healing of chronic wounds are in demand. There is a still unmet need for novel strategies to achieve expeditious wound healing because of the enormous financial burden worldwide. The next chapters, therefore, review some of the most daring novel solutions that could speed up the uptake of novel technologies into wound care, as well as some important advancements in this field that shall influence the modern wound treatment in the near future. Some aspects of advanced wound dressings to go beyond the state-of-the-art in this field, are shown in Fig. 4.1.
