Wound healing is a naturally occurring process that can be aided by a wound dressing properly designed to assure an efficient healing process. An infection caused by several microorganisms could interfere with this process, delaying or even impairing wound healing. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a main constituent of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of a vertebrate’s connective tissue, represents a promising biomaterial for wound dressing thanks to its intrinsic biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and bacteriostatic properties. In this review, different and recent types of HA-based wound dressings endowed with intrinsic antimicrobial properties or co-adjuvated by antimicrobial natural or synthetic agents are highlighted. |
