| Abstract | ||
| Burn injuries represent a significant global health concern, and the effective burn management approaches are crucial in addressing this challenge. This review article specifically sums up the application of different and modern nanotechnology techniques that can be used in burn management. The review sections involve the pathogenesis of burn, the main strategies that are employed in burn management, the different nano-formulations that can be used in burn management, as well as the advantages of utilizing nanotechnology in this context. Nanotechnology offers unique properties and capabilities which contribute to efficient drug delivery, enhanced wound healing, and the development of advanced dressings with antimicrobial properties. Nanoparticles also enable targeted drug delivery and the potential for personalized burn treatments. The application of nanotechnology in delivering antimicrobial treatments has also contributed to the reduction in bacterial resistance. Overall, the application of nanotechnology in burn management holds significant promise in improving outcomes, reducing complications, and enhancing the quality of life for burn patients. | ||
