Abstract: The process of wound healing is intricate and requires a synchronized reaction from numerous cell types and growth factors to quickly restore the structure and functionality of the skin. Even though there are now several hydrogel-based dressings available, the aging population urgently needs innovative wound care treatment options to handle the increasing incidence of severe acute, and chronic wounds. Chitosan based hydrogels are considered to be the most effective substances for improving wound healing because of their haemostatic, biologically adhesive, biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, and antibacterial properties. In addition, these hydrogels have a variety of biochemical properties that aid in wound healing, such as conductivity, temperature-dependent drug releasability, anti-infection, antioxidation, and good self-healing qualities. The preparation of chitosan-based hydrogels and their properties are summarized.
