Wound healing is a complicated and continuous process affected by several factors, which needs an appropriate surrounding to achieve accelerated healing. Wound healing process recruits three different phases: inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. Due to the different types of wounds, as well as the advancement in medical technology, various products have been developed to repair different skin lesions. Our objective is to investigate the advancement in wound dressings from traditional to the current methods of treatment. The article presents the characteristics of an ideal wound dressing, the requirements for the appropriate selection of different types of wounds, and a detailed classification of wound dressings. Animal origin, herbal origin, and synthetic dressings are firstly introduced and reviewed. Then, nonmedicated dressings including alginate, hydrogel, and hydrocolloid dressings, as well as medicated dressings are discussed. Finally, the developmental prospectives of the new generations of wound dressings for future researches are presented. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019, 136, 47738.

“…Cotton is commonly used in wound dressings owing to its inherent hydrophilicity and moisture and fluid retention properties. Cotton fabrics were modified with encapsulated aloe vera extract [235] and antimicrobial peptides [236,237] for wound-dressing applications. The results demonstrated the higher antimicrobial and wound-healing effects of the treated cotton fabrics.…”

“…Aluminium phosphate can be effectively used because of the presence of the phosphorus, but it needs high loading that causes problems in fabric handling and mechanical properties [324]. Some inorganic salts can give good flame-retardant characteristics for durable finishes (1-50 washing cycles) and depend on halogens, phosphorus or nitrogen for their effectiveness as they form cross-linkages within the fibre structure [235]. During combustion flame-retardant polymers give denser smoke as compared with neat polymer (which could become a problem in itself but in this regard, using metal oxides for smoke reduction is an effective approach [326].…”

Cotton is the most significant natural fibre and has been a preferred choice of the textile industry and consumers since the industrial revolution began. The share of man-made fibres, both regenerated and synthetic fibres, has grown considerably in recent times but cotton production has also been on the rise and accounts for about half of the fibres used for apparel and textile goods. To cotton's advantage, the premium attached to the presence of cotton fibre and the general positive consumer perception is well established, however, compared to commodity manmade fibres and high performance fibres, cotton has limitations in terms of its mechanical properties but can help to overcome moisture management issues that arise with performance apparel during active wear. This issue of Textile Progress aims to: i. Report on advances in cotton cultivation and processing as well as improvements to conventional cotton cultivation and ginning. The processing of cotton in the textile industry from fibre to finished fabric, cotton and its blends, and their applications in technical textiles are also covered. ii. Explore the economic impact of cotton in different parts of the world including an overview of global cotton trade. iii. Examine the environmental perception of cotton fibre and efforts in organic and genetically-modified (GM) cotton production. The topic of naturally-coloured cotton, post-consumer waste is covered and the environmental impacts of cotton cultivation and processing are discussed. Hazardous effects of cultivation, such as the extensive use of pesticides, insecticides and irrigation with fresh water, and consequences of the use of GM cotton and cotton fibres in general on the climate are summarised and the effects of cotton processing on workers are addressed. The potential hazards during cotton cultivation, processing and use are also included. iv. Examine how the properties of cotton textiles can be enhanced, for example, by improving wrinkle recovery and reducing the flammability of cotton fibre.

“…Liposomes containing Aloe vera gel having intrinsic anti-inflammatory action, and with particle size of 200 nm have been prepared by Takahashi et al to enhance skin collagen synthesis and growth of skin cell lines [ 126 ]. Encapsulation and stabilization of Aloe vera extract on cotton fabric for wound dressing application has been recently accounted for [ 127 ]. Moreover, co-encapsulation of Aloe vera with curcumin enhanced the delivery of the phytocompounds and their antioxidant activity [ 128 ].…”

Phytocompounds have been used in medicine for decades owing to their potential in anti-inflammatory applications. However, major difficulties in achieving sustained delivery of phyto-based drugs are related to their low solubility and cell penetration, and high instability. To overcome these disadvantages, nanosized delivery technologies are currently in use for sustained and enhanced delivery of phyto-derived bioactive compounds in the pharmaceutical sector. This review focuses on the recent advances in nanocarrier-mediated drug delivery of bioactive molecules of plant origin in the field of anti-inflammatory research. In particular, special attention is paid to the relationship between structure and properties of the nanocarrier and phytodrug release behavior.
