Exploring Hyaluronic Acid as a Potential Standard Dressing for Burn Wound
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 08
Abstract
A massive loss of dermis layer such as in deep burn wounds brings several important consequences and complications which contribute tomajor problems, personally and economically, for theburnpatientsand theirfamilies. Ideal burn wound treatment should not focus merelyon removing devitalized tissue, controlling bacterial growth, and promoting healing, but alsoon acceleratingthe healing process and preventing scar-relatedcomplications. The evolution of biomaterial science for burn woundshas provided physicianswith noveldressingmaterials based on natural and also synthetic polymers, and the latest development introducesthe use of hyaluronic acid (HA) as a potential burn wound dressing.HAhas been studied to have involvementin many phasesof the wound healing process, such as inflammation, granulation,and re-epithelialization. Dealing with theunfavorablephysical properties of the native polymersuch as solubility and rapid degradation, modification and improvement aredesigned to produce insoluble molecules to facilitatehyaluronic acid-based (HA-based) wound dressing products asa valuable option for the treatment of deep burns. Our literature reviewsharesthe development and the outcome of the use of these products in burns. The currently available clinical experience suggests that these HA-based wound dressing productsprovidea safe therapeutic method useful for the treatment of acute burns and minimize scar-related complications, although further improvements are still required to make an ideal HA-based wound dressing product for standard burn wound treatment
