“…Focusing on Europe, it is remarkable that in the United Kingdom, there are 2.2 million patients with wounds, and 25–50% of hospital beds in that country are occupied by patients with wounds. This represents an expense of millions of dollars, which in Europe can account for between 2% and 4% of health outlay [ 8 ]. Moreover, in developed countries, it has been estimated that 1 to 2% of the population will experience a chronic wound during their lifetime [ 9 ].…”

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it acts as a protective barrier against external factors. Chronic wounds affect millions of people worldwide and are associated with significant morbidity and reduced quality of life. One of the main factors involved in delayed wound healing is oxidative injury, which is triggered by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic wounds, where it is known to impair wound healing by causing damage to cellular components, delaying the inflammatory phase of healing, and inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels. Thereby, the treatment of chronic wounds requires a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the underlying causes of the wound, provides optimal wound care, and promotes wound healing. Among the promising approaches to taking care of chronic wounds, antioxidants are gaining interest since they offer multiple benefits related to skin health. Therefore, in this review, we will highlight the latest advances in the use of natural polymers with antioxidants to generate tissue regeneration microenvironments for skin wound healing.
