Because biomaterials can improve tissue repair and regeneration, their use in wound healing has drawn much attention. Biomaterials facilitate cellular connections, create favorable microenvironments, offer mechanical support, making them vital for promoting healing. These materials fall into three categories: natural, synthetic, hybrid. Natural polymers such as collagen, alginate, chitosan mimic the extracellular matrix biocompatibility, while synthetic like PLGA provide adjustable qualities strength degradation rates. Advanced hydrogels, nanoparticles, electrospun fibers enhance moisture retention, control drug release, reduce infection. They release bioactive chemicals growth factors antimicrobial peptides, preventing chronic wounds. This chapter examines various used healing, therapeutic uses, modes of action, well future developments challenges design, scalability.
