Abstract:
This review introduces a brief description on the featured properties of polyvinyl alcohol based on hydrogel dressings. During past ten years many new artificial polymeric dressings have been developed, which meet requirements of wound healing. This review mainly focuses on one representative of ideal polymeric wound dressing membranes, polyvinyl alcohol based hydrogel dressings. But as the hydrogels with single component have low mechanical strength, recent trends have offered composite hydrogel membranes to achieve the ideal wound dressing requirements.
