Abstract
implications. We discuss the shortcomings of these single layer dressings, and highlight the potential of bilayer dressings in overcoming these issues. Furthermore, we comprehensively elaborate the efforts made so far to develop bilayer dressings to advance skin wound care treatment. Finally, we discuss the challenges and opportunities existing in the area of bilayer dressings that should be addressed to achieve their clinical application in future.
