Abstract
Background: Nanotechnology has advanced and innovative applications in wound dressings that improve the wound healing process. By using various nanoparticles such as silver, gold, copper, zinc oxide, etc., wound dressings can provide better antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties. In addition to reducing infection, this technology helps in controlled drug delivery and new tissue growth, and plays an important role in increasing the quality of treatment and healing of complex wounds.
Methods: In this study, articles were searched using the keywords wound dressing, nanoparticles, and antibacterial in the Web of Science, Pub Med, Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases, and ultimately 97 articles were selected and reviewed.
Results: Various nanoparticles, especially silver nanoparticles, play an effective role in wound healing and the treatment of bacterial infections. The use of these nanoparticles in wound dressings can lead to faster wound healing, reduced infections, and improved quality of life for patients.
Conclusion: The aim of this review article is to provide an overview of advances in antimicrobial wound dressings with nanoparticles.
