Recent advances in the treatment of chronic wounds have focused on the development of effective strategies for cutting-edge wound dressings based on nanostructured materials, particularly biocompatible poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based electro-spun (e-spun) nanofibers. However, PVA nanofibers need ...

This paper utilizes response surface methodology (RSM) design-based analyses to optimize starch-based wound dressings that were characterized based on weight loss (WL%), swelling index (SI%), and mechanical strength (TS). The wound-dressing materials were prepared by employing a modified casting method, using various concentrations of starch (0.5-2 w/w%), ...

Chronic wounds present a high risk of infection due to delayed and incomplete healing, leading to increased health risks and financial burden to health-care systems. Numerous approaches to promote wound healing have been extensively explored, especially the development of effective wound dressing materials embedded with therapeutic drug molecules. Despite ...
