EMERGING TRENDS IN ELECTROSPUN POLYMERIC NANOFIBERS FOR CLINICAL WOUND MANAGEMENT
Keywords:
Electrospinning technology, Nanofibrous wound dressings, biopolymers, scaffold developmentAbstract
Chronic and non-healing wounds remain a major global healthcare challenge due to rising infection rates, treatment costs, and the growing prevalence of conditions such as diabetes. Conventional wound dressings often fail to provide adequate antibacterial protection, controlled drug delivery, and support for tissue regeneration. Recent advancements in nanotechnology, particularly electrospinning, have enabled the development of nanofibrous scaffolds that closely mimic the extracellular matrix, promoting enhanced cell proliferation, vascularization, and faster tissue repair for effective wound management, offering improved healing outcomes, reduced scarring, and enhanced tissue engineering potential while addressing the evolving demands of modern healthcare systems.
