Wound healing has always been a great challenge throughout human history. Today, with a substantial rise in chronic diseases and surgical operations, there is more demand for wound dressings to facilitate the healing process. Modern dressings come in different forms and offer significant advantages over the traditionally used passive bandages by inhibiting microbial activity and providing a suitable moist environment for the wound. Despite their widespread clinical usage and successful results in wound treatment, even modern dressings cannot promote wound healing as expected since they are not responsive to the wound conditions. On the other hand, smart dressings can interact with the environment through their built-in sensors and respond to wound needs. They can monitor the changes in wound healing stages and provide insightful information that could affect the treatment direction. The current manuscript reviews the evolution of wound dressings from ancient, traditional to modern dressings and presents the advanced class of smart dressings as the future trend in the field.

伤口敷料的演变：从传统敷料到智能敷料

在整个人类历史上，伤口愈合一直是一个巨大的挑战。今天，随着慢性病和外科手术的大量增加，对伤口敷料的需求越来越大，以促进愈合过程。现代敷料有不同的形式，通过抑制微生物活动和为伤口提供合适的湿润环境，与传统使用的被动绷带相比具有显着优势。尽管它们在临床上广泛使用并且在伤口治疗中取得了成功的结果，但即使是现代敷料也不能像预期的那样促进伤口愈合，因为它们对伤口状况没有反应。另一方面，智能敷料可以通过内置传感器与环境互动并响应伤口需求。他们可以监测伤口愈合阶段的变化，并提供可能影响治疗方向的有见地的信息。目前的手稿回顾了伤口敷料从古代、传统到现代敷料的演变，并将高级智能敷料作为该领域的未来趋势。
