ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the most advances in nanomedicine which have led to the paradigm shift in the wound healing domain. There are also different types of wounds depending on the level of contamination, which include clean wound, contaminated wound, infected wound, and colonized wound. Apart from conventional approaches, scientists are using various therapies which are more effective and fruitful in the wound repair process. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is based on oxygen, which has a pivotal role in angiogenesis and leukocyte and fibroblast function. Modern custom-designed dressing materials generally absorb excess liquid at the wound site, which is ultimately helpful for wound healing. Immediately after damage, homeostasis takes place in order to protect the vascular system and vital organs from injury. In the inflammatory phase, the area of the injury site immobilizes the wound and prepares it for healing. The nanomedicinal approaches include therapies with various metals, non-metals, and metalloids and their applications in wound healing.
