Summary, etc. <p style="text-align: justify;">Though several advancements occurred in the wound management and wound dressing sector, still there is scope for improvement in this area. Recently, several researchers focused on the use of bacterial cellulose in the wound dressing area. However, the use of bacterial cellulose is not yet commercialized widely. The three-dimensional fibre assembly, nano-sized fibre, and very high swelling and water holding capacity are the unique characteristics of bacterial cellulose. This review aims at analyzing the recent advancements in the use of bacterial cellulose in wound dressing application. The first part of the review evaluates the intrinsic properties of bacterial cellulose and its importance in wound healing. The latter part of the review consolidates the recent research works and advancements in bacterial cellulose wound dressing. Finally, the review details the potential merits and demerits of bacterial cellulose along with the scope for future research.</p>
