Polymeric wound dressings, an insight into polysaccharide-based electrospun membranes

Chronic wounds deeply invalidate patient's quality of life, involving very high costs for the medical system. Numerous wound dressings have been studied over the years, and active wound dressings replaced traditional passive dressings to promote tissue regeneration and wound closure. Aiming at an optimal reproduction of the physiological environment, electrospun wound dressings are emerging since they mimic the architecture of the extracellular...
