“…The severity of a wound depends on diameter and depth of the wound and the damage caused in the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin [6,7]. It takes several days or weeks for a wound healing process which ends with wound closure [8,9].…”

“…They should be easy to apply and can reduce the nursing time with fewer dressing changes and pains of removal with less adherence between wound surface and dressing layer [7,37,38]. A modern absorbent wound dressing normally consists of three layers, i.e., an absorbent layer, a wound contact layer and an out layer.…”

Exuding often occurs in the inflammatory stage both for acute wounds and chronic wounds. Absorbent wound dressings are specially developed and used in exuding wounds. In order to reduce bacteria and risk of infection, many absorbent dressings are impregnated with silver ions or particles which are the most widely used substance to obtain antimicrobial effects and therefore this review focuses on the antimicrobial absorbent dressings treated with silver ions or silver particles. The methods of dispersing silver in dressings include coating or spraying silver-containing solution on the wound dressing surface, padding the wetted dressing with pressure, embedding silver nanoparticles in non-woven fibers. When silver dressings absorb exudate from wounds, the antimicrobial silver will be activated and then breaks down the bacterial cell wall to kill the bacterium. Silver foam dressings and silver alginate dressings are the most popular antimicrobial absorbent dressings, which have been developed and produced by many health care companies.

“…A wound is defined as a disruption of the continuity of the skin or mucosal surface due to physical or thermal damage. Depending on the size, depth, and extent of the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin, it usually heals within a predictable and expected time frame within 8-12 weeks [1,2]. The skin plays an important role in protecting the body from external environmental disturbances such as pathogens and chemicals [3].…”

Electrospinning has been recognized as an efficient technique for the fabrication of polymer nanofibers. Various polymers have been successfully electrospun into ultrafine fibers in recent years. These electrospun biopolymer nanofibers have potential applications for wound dressing based upon their unique properties. In this paper, a comprehensive review is presented on the researches and developments related to electrospun biopolymer nanofibers including processing, structure and property, characterization, and applications. Information of those polymers together with their processing condition for electrospinning of ultrafine fibers has been summarized in the paper. The application of electrospun natural biopolymer fibers in wound dressings was specifically discussed. Other issues regarding the technology limitations, research challenges, and future trends are also discussed.
