Abstract

Natural hydrogel-based wound dressings, synthesized from biopolymers such as chitosan, sodium alginate, and cellulose, are gaining recognition in wound care due to their ability to promote healing through biocompatibility, moisture retention, and biodegradability. These materials foster an ideal healing environment by supporting cell proliferation and tissue regeneration while providing a protective barrier against infection. For chronic or infected wounds, enhancing the therapeutic performance of these hydrogels is essential. This review critically evaluates advanced functionalization strategies, including chemical modifications to optimize hydrogel properties, the incorporation of bioactive agents like…
