Wound healing is a complex process that involves a variety of physical, chemical, and biological processes. Because of their remarkable characteristics and capabilities, nanomaterials have recently emerged as potential therapeutic agents for wound healing. Many different nanomaterial-based wound-healing treatments have been created and put into widespread use. In this review, we compile the most recent research on cutting-edge nanomaterials for wound healing, including both organic and inorganic nanomaterials. We highlight prospective approaches for developing nanomaterial-based wound healing therapy procedures and talk about the benefits and limitations of these treatments. Future prospects for wound healing therapies based on nanomaterials are discussed, including the need to address toxicity concerns, the scalability of production, and the long-term stability of nanomaterials. The safety and effectiveness of nanomaterials depend on further investigation into their design, interactions with biological systems, and the results of rigorous preclinical and clinical trials. There is great potential for a dramatic improvement in patient outcomes with the introduction of nanomaterial-based wound healing therapies.
