Gel-Based Novel Wound Dressing
Dressing materials were initially created to mainly provide a protective barrier against the external environment. Currently, the expectations for these materials are much higher. It is desirable to design dressings that will also be able to absorb the wound exudate, prevent bacterial infections, and even support the wound regeneration processes via releasing into the wound various substances with therapeutic properties. Many studies are currently being performed on gel-based wound dressings so as to develop materials demonstrating the mentioned previously properties aiming at designing systems most conducive to wound healing.
Thus, the main aim of this Special Issue is to present the synthesis methodology and the detailed studies on gel-based wound dressings. We encourage the submission of works that focus on dressings additionally modified with various substances to enhance materials with properties that are beneficial in terms of the wound healing process.
Dr. Sonia Kudłacik-Kramarczyk
