Metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) have great potential for applications in wound healing and tissue engineering, and due to their unique structures, high bioactivities, and excellent designability characteristics, an increasing number of studies have been devoted to modifying these species to generate novel composites with desirable optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. However, few systematic and detailed reviews have been performed relating to the modification approaches available for MNPs and their resulting composites. In this review, a comprehensive summary is performed regarding the optimized modification formulations of MNPs for application in wound dressings, and the techniques used to prepare composite wound dressings are discussed. In addition, the safety profiles of the novel nanocomposite formulations and the limitations of the reported systems are evaluated. More importantly, a number of solution strategies are proposed to address these limitations. Overall, this review provides new ideas for the design of MNPs to facilitate their application in the field of skin tissue repair, and also looks into the future direction of MNPs in the biomedical field.

Due to good biocompatibility and biodegradable, natural polysaccharide-based hydrogels have received worldwide attentions, where polysaccharide polymers were usually chemically modified to meet the specific elastic requirements. However, it remained highly challenging to develop polysaccharide-based hydrogels with desired mechanical properties and biological functions devoid of any structural modifications. Herein, with the coordination of Ca (15.

Burn injuries in the paediatric population are common and account for a substantial proportion of hospital attendances, leading to a growing focus on optimising wound care to enhance healing, reduce discomfort and minimise the need for frequent dressing changes. Traditional dressings for superficial burns in children have inherent limitations that may hinder these goals. Biobrane (Dow Hickman/Bertek Pharmaceuticals, Sugar Land, TX), a semi-permeable silicone device embedded with a nylon mesh and a porcine-derived collagen matrix, offers a promising alternative with advantages such as improved wound healing, reduced pain and fewer dressing changes.

Sternal wound infection can be a severe complication of cardiac surgery. Multiple debridements are often necessary before definitive coverage, and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is often used as a temporary dressing between debridements. NPWT with instillation and dwell (NPWT-i) has been used in many wound types including sternal wounds with success.

Myiasis is the term referring to an infestation of dipterous larvae in the living body tissue, where they feed on the tissue and cause infection. It is typically found in individuals living in unhygienic conditions, with foul-smelling odor emanating from neglected wounds or body discharge, which attract flies to lay their eggs in the affected area. Myiasis can cause life-threatening complications if maggots invade vital organs, resulting in sepsis, hemorrhage, and organ dysfunction.
