The article surveys some significant trends in the textile wound
dressing during recent years. An ideal wound Dressing need
to be redefined based on the nature of wound and wound classifications.
Since generations, wound have been defined as selfhealing
process, but chronic wounds and other wound requires handling and care
from different parameters like moist conditions,
biocompatibility, microbial infection to mention a few. Bioactive
dressings based on different materials sodium alginate, chitosan,
hydrocolloid, iodine have been explored. The future of fiber technology
for medical applications depends largely on the future needs
of our civilization. The use of new fibers for healthcare textiles
application has increased rapidly over the past quarter of a century.
With the recent advances in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and gene
delivery‐ alginate, chitin/chitosan and their derivatives
present a novel and useful class of biomaterials.
