A REVIEW ON CHITOSAN-BASED MATERIALS AS POTENTIAL WOUND DRESSING MATERIALS

This review article aimed to study chitosan as a material based in wound dressing preparation. The method this is the approximation method. articles were obtained from national and international journals such Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar by using keywords "Chitosan", "Wound Healing", "Biomedical Application". inclusion criteria of are: books contains as, published last ten years, not article. final used are 29 that studying use material. combination with some polymer, ion other materials resulting chitosan-based namely nanofibrous membranes, composites sponge, polyelectrolyte complex, composites, topical preparation fibers, film, gel. Thus, modified healing improve activity each from. summarizes application healing. Several studies proposed porous structure lead improvement activity.
