Abstract
Compared to typical bandaging materials, fish skin bandages have shown great promise as a wound treatment option. Fish skin is abundant, biocompatible, and naturally antibacterial, which makes it an ideal material for wound dressings. Moreover, fish skin shares a structure with human skin, which promotes improved integration with the wound bed and helps injured tissue regenerate. Fish skin bandages have emerged as a possible option for wound healing due to their unique biological features. This study examines the efficacy of fish skin bandages in wound treatment.
Methods This article attempts to understand the efficacy and mechanisms of action of fish skin bandages in encouraging wound healing by analyzing existing research, describing the biological makeup of fish skin, and investigating current investigations.
Results The results show that fish skin bandages have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and tissue-regenerative capabilities, making them an appealing solution for a variety of wounds
Conclusion The use of fish skin in wound treatment improves environmental sustainability by recycling fish waste. However, further study is needed to improve the manufacture, standardization, and therapeutic use of fish skin bandages.
