“…In addition, it is considered biocompatible and nontoxic ( Jayakumar et al, 2010 ). There is evidence regarding QS use in gels, films, and meshes in skin wounds, with positive results in humans and animals ( Maldonado-Cabrera et al, 2022 ). QS is applied to prevent and/or treat bacterial infectious processes and simultaneously improve the healing process ( Valenzuela-Rojo et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Additionally, the chemical structure of chitosan with positively charged amino groups allows it to interact with several proteins, thus influencing various processes involved in wound healing. Several studies confirmed a variety of therapeutic effects of chitosan or its derivatives, such as N,N,N-trimethyl-chitosan (TMC), N,O-carboxymethyl-chitosan (CMC), and O-carboxymethyl-N,N,N-trimethyl-chitosan (CMTMC) individually or in combination with other agents on animal skin lesions ( Figure 3 ) [ 39 , 42 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 ].…”

During the past two decades, tremendous progress has been made in the development of biodegradable polymeric materials for various industrial applications, including human and veterinary medicine. They are promising alternatives to commonly used non-degradable polymers to combat the global plastic waste crisis. Among biodegradable polymers used, or potentially applicable to, veterinary medicine are natural polysaccharides, such as chitin, chitosan, and cellulose as well as various polyesters, including poly(ε-caprolactone), polylactic acid, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), and polyhydroxyalkanoates produced by bacteria. They can be used as implants, drug carriers, or biomaterials in tissue engineering and wound management. Their use in veterinary practice depends on their biocompatibility, inertness to living tissue, mechanical resistance, and sorption characteristics. They must be designed specifically to fit their purpose, whether it be: (1) facilitating new tissue growth and allowing for controlled interactions with living cells or cell-growth factors, (2) having mechanical properties that address functionality when applied as implants, or (3) having controlled degradability to deliver drugs to their targeted location when applied as drug-delivery vehicles. This paper aims to present recent developments in the research on biodegradable polymers in veterinary medicine and highlight the challenges and future perspectives in this area.
