This review article was set out to investigate chitosan as a component of wound dressings. The approximation method is the one used in this review. Relevant articles were found by searching for keywords like "Chitosan", "Wound Healing", and "Biomedical Application" in national and international journals databases like Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The articles cannot be a review work and must have been published in national and international journals during the last ten years. A total of 29 research articles which investigated chitosan's application as a material for wound dressings were taken up for the review. Chitosan-based products, such as nanofibrous membranes, composite sponges, polyelectrolyte complexes, and composites, are produced by combining chitosan with various polymers, ions, and other materials. These materials are used to create topical preparations such as membranes, fibers, sponges, films, and gels. The modified chitosan preparations attributed to improve the wound healing process in a better way. This article gives a general overview of several chitosan-based products utilized in healing wounds and their benefits.
