The field of wound care has continuously improved by using techniques and materials to promote healing and minimize
complications. A key factor, in this progress is the utilization of polymers and cutting-edge biomaterials. In this examination, we
explore the role and impact of these substances on wound management practices. We delve into the characteristics of polymers like
chitosan, alginate, and collagen which are derived from living organisms and offer advantages in terms of compatibility with the
body's ability to break down naturally and suitability for various wound applications. Additionally, we investigate emerging
biomaterials such as nanofibers, hydrogels, and bioactive glass highlighting their potential for delivering drugs in a controlled
manner and influencing the healing environment within wounds. The incorporation of these materials into wound care has shown
results including healing processes, reduced formation of scar tissue, and improved infection control. Despite these advancements,
our review acknowledges existing challenges such as expanding production capacity standardizing products across the industry and
overcoming obstacles in implementation. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the state of the art in wound care
strategies while also offering insights into potential solutions and future directions, for research and application.
