Many sorts of injuries were dealt with by focusing on different parts of the cure process with the technological development of over 3000 items,. This review recounts the history of dressings from its very beginnings to the present state, as well as the benefits and limits of dressing materials. Nanomaterial wound therapy offers enormous potential to cure and prevent injury infections with a variety of advantages compared to standard methods of treatment. In this connection, researchers may perform comprehensive investigations of wound healing applications using the physiochemical characteristics of nanomaterials. However, concerns related to the use of nanomaterials to speed up the effectiveness of current therapies remain unsolved. The current study emphasises new approaches to recent and detailed revolutionary wound-healing techniques and infection controls employing nanomaterials, nanoparticles, nano-composites and scaffolds. The effectiveness of nanoparticles as transporters of medicinal substances related to wound-healing applications was also investigated. Finally, nanomaterial scaffolds and their premises were outlined for further investigations. We think that the detailed analytical analysis, future insights and possible issues outlined in this review will give researchers with up-to-date reference to the usage and creative ways of nanomedicine that may help improve the application of wound healing.
