N2 - The development of ideal wound dressing materials with excellent characteristics is currently a major demand in wound therapy. In recent years, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based wound dressing materials have been of immense attraction due to their noble properties, such as: biocompatibility, biodegradability, tissue resembling, low cost and non-toxic. It is used extensively, in a variety of applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. The hydrophilic nature of CMC, makes it possible to blend and cross-link with other materials, such as: synthetic polymers, natural polymers and inorganic materials and it enables the preparation of innovative wound dressing biomaterials. Hence, this review, focuses on the intrinsic characteristics of CMC-based wound dressing materials, including hydrogels, films, 3D printing, fibres, gauzes and their recent advancements in chronic wound healing.
