dc.description.abstractBackground: In wealthy nations, 1-2% of people suffer from serious chronic wounds. In India, chronic wounds have a prevalence rate of approximately 4.5 per 1000 individuals, with diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers being the most common. Purpose: Chronic wound treatment is necessary to maintain patients’ physical and emotional well-being and improve quality of life. Numerous methods, including hydrogel dressings, skin grafts, debridement, ultrasound, electromagnetic, and negative pressure wound treatment, may be used to treat chronic wounds. Methods: Recent literature has been surveyed from PUBMED, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, etc., like search engines, for summarizing detailed ongoing developments in the field of hydrogels in chronic wound care. Conclusions: Due to their functional qualities that may be adjusted, hydrogel dressings are a viable and promising solution for accelerating the healing of chronic wounds. These characteristics include biodegradability, adhesion, and bioactivities that are pre-antigenic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. This overview summarizes the various types of chronic wounds, stages of the healing process, and important treatment modalities. The advantages of hydrogel-based dressings for treating chronic wounds are discussed, along with their multifunctional qualities, illustrating their superiority over other dressing types for long-term wound healing.
