Wound healing remains a critical challenge in healthcare, requiring advanced wound dressings with superior properties like transparency, absorbency, and biocompatibility. However, gaps exist in the use of marine-derived biopolymers for sustainable dressings. This study addresses this gap by combining κ-carrageenan (KC) with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) to develop transparent and absorbent biodegradable films through solvent casting and lyophilization techniques.

The aim is to tailor biodegradable dressings for comprehensive healing, focusing on maximizing moisture retention, a vital element for adequate recovery. Researchers are designing advanced wound dressings that enhance techno-functional and bioactive properties, minimizing healing time and ensuring cost-effective care.

- This study investigates the effectiveness of two innovative surgical dressing materials, nano-chitosan and collagen-chitosan membranes, for treating soft-tissue injuries in the maxillofacial area, focusing on pain, healing, and scarring.
- Thirty participants with maxillofacial injuries were divided into three groups to receive different treatments: nano-chitosan membrane, collagen-chitosan membrane, or conventional chlorhexidine powder, and were evaluated at various follow-up periods.
- Results showed that the nano-chitosan membrane not only provided superior wound healing compared to the conventional treatment but also resulted in less pain and better scar outcomes after three months.
