“…They also suggested that, in case of a wound infection, keratin treatment should be briefly interrupted, and antibacterial treatment should be started as soon as possible, and then application of keratin products should be restarted. Paulsen and Bygum [111] studied keratin gel (Keragel ® , Keraplast Technologies, LLC, Christchurch, New Zealand) as an adjuvant in the treatment of recalcitrant pyoderma gangrenosum ulcers in a 62-year-old woman. Earlier, the standard treatment (e.g., corticosteroids, cyclosporine, and infliximab) was unsuccessful.…”

Impaired wound healing is a major medical problem. To solve it, researchers around the world have turned their attention to the use of tissue-engineered products to aid in skin regeneration in case of acute and chronic wounds. One of the primary goals of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is to develop a matrix or scaffold system that mimics the structure and function of native tissue. Keratin biomaterials derived from wool, hair, and bristle have been the subjects of active research in the context of tissue regeneration for over a decade. Keratin derivatives, which can be either soluble or insoluble, are utilized as wound dressings since keratins are dynamically up-regulated and needed in skin wound healing. Tissue biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical durability, and natural abundance are only a few of the keratin biomaterials’ properties, making them excellent wound dressing materials to treat acute and chronic wounds. Several experimental and pre-clinical studies described the beneficial effects of the keratin-based wound dressing in faster wound healing. This review focuses exclusively on the biomedical application of a different type of keratin biomaterials as a wound dressing in pre-clinical and clinical conditions.
