Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process that requires an appropriate environment to support healing. Wound dressings play a crucial role in wound management by protecting the wound and promoting healing. Recent advancements in wound dressing technology include the development of bio-absorbable electrospun dressings incorporating essential oils, which have shown promise in enhancing wound healing potential. However, there is still a need for sustainable wound dressing technology that is effective, safe, and environmentally friendly. This review addresses this need by emphasizing the potential of bio-absorbable electrospun wound dressings incorporating essential oils and advocating for a paradigm shift toward sustainable crop-origin materials and the elimination of toxic solvents in wound dressing fabrication.
