Resumen:

A wound is an injury that breaks the skin or other body tissue. Wounds can be open, with broken skin and exposed body tissue, or closed when there is damage to tissue under intact skin. Every year, wounds have an important economic impact on the health systems of each country since the treatment of chronic wounds depends on wound etiology. Generally, adequate wound cleaning and debridement, control of possible infections, and the use of wound dressings are needed. Nowadays, current therapies cannot fully address impaired healing, thus provoking wound complications like infections and poor wound closure. For these reasons, new therapies that promote adequate wound healing, preventing wound infections and inflammation, are necessary. In this way, the integration of nanomaterials with remarkable properties into wound healing has led to significantly positive results. For a deeper understanding of wound healing advances and challenges, in this chapter, we review the different types of wounds, their mechanism, and pathophysiology. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
