Abstract：Normal wound healing is a very complicated process. As the wound covering, the dressing can protect the wound, accelerate the healing process and prevent infection during wound healing. Chitosan-based nanofibers have shown great prospect in biomedical dressings due to their unique biological and physicochemical properties. In this paper, the characteristics, materials, application and evaluation of chitosan-based electrospun nanofiber dressings are reviewed, and its application prospects are also prospected.
