BACKGROUND: BODY SKIN PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN HEMOSTASIS AND PREVENTION OF INVASIVE MICROORGANISMS.IN CASE OF SKIN DAMAGE QUICKLY COVER THE WOUND DRESSING IS ESSENTIAL. DURING THE RESEARCH THE RESEARCHERS USING NANOPARTICLES OF SILVER AND POLYMER MATERIALS HAVE SUCCEEDED IN PRODUCING NOVEL DRESSINGS THAT CAN REPAIR ALL CHRONIC AND NON-CHRONIC WOUNDS INCLUDING INFECTED WOUNDS, DIABETIC ULCERS AND BED SORES IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME.

THE SKIN IS THE LARGEST ORGAN IN THE BODY WHICH PROTECTS OTHER ORGANS FROM INJURY. WOUND IS ANY DAMAGE TO THE SKIN THAT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE ATTACK OF MICROORGANISMS WHICH MAY RESULT IN SEVERE INFECTION AND DEATH...

LARGE AREA SKIN DEFECTS ARE THE MAIN CONCERN IN CLINICAL TREATMENT. DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SKIN SUBSTITUTES AND MODERN WOUND DRESSINGS AND SKIN TISSUE SCAFFOLDS ARE REQUIRED. BACTERIAL NANOCELLULOSE IS AN INTERESTING MATERIAL FOR USING AS A WOUND DRESSING SINCE IT PROVIDES MOIST ENVIRONMENT TO A WOUND RESULTING IN A BETTER WOUND HEALING.
