Abstract
Wound dressing has remained challenging for some life-threatening wounds such as burning. Researchers have been engaged in looking for better solutions. This review paper depicted the ideal wound dressing based on the mechanism of human skins, compared traditional wound dressing methods to modern methods, and reviewed the use of polymers and biopolymers as advanced materials for wound dressing.
