| Popis: | Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is one of the traumatic complications and addressing the associated impediments is important to attain a wholesome treatment. Though various treatment methods have been employed, search for novel dressings are still on the rise to address factors such as promoting tissue regeneration, effective drug delivery, rapid wound closure and biodegradability. This review emphasizes the contribution of natural and synthetic polymers in standard and smart wound dressings. Through extensive study on the prognostic stages and the role of individual polymers, strategic management to alleviate the conditions of the challenging DFU could be made possible. |
