1-INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of Wound Healing
Wound healing is a dynamic, intricate process characterized by a series of biological processes aimed at re-establishing tissue integrity and function after injury. The healing process is in four overlapping stages:
 Hemostasis (Immediate Response)
During injury, the blood vessels get constricted and platelets stick together to produce a clot. The clot arrests bleeding and provides a matrix for the healing process that follows.
Inflammation (1-3 Days)
Inflammatory cells (e.g., neutrophils and macrophages) invade the wound site to remove debris and pathogens. This phase also involves the discharge of growth factors and cytokines that stimulate the healing cascade.
Proliferation (Days to Weeks)
Tissue formation, such as granulation tissue development (new connective tissue) and new vessel growth (angiogenesis), takes place in this phase. Epithelial cells migrate over the wound bed and create a new layer of skin.
Maturation and Remodelling (Weeks to Months)
The last phase is the strengthening of the newly formed tissue. Collagen remodelling occurs, and the wound steadily acquires tensile strength, although the healed tissue will never return to its original strength.
 Various factors, for instance, age, nutrition, blood supply, and infection can affect the wound healing process.
 A delay in any of the healing phases may lead to chronic wounds or inadequate tissue regeneration.
 
1.2 Role of Microbial Infections in Delayed Healing
 Infections are a major factor in impeding the healing process, especially in chronic wounds. Pathogen presence causes chronic inflammation, tissue damage, and arrested or delayed healing. Some of the most important ways microbial infections influence wound healing are:
 Prolonged Inflammation: Microbial colonization on the wound site initiates repeated immune reactions, extending the inflammatory phase and not allowing the proliferative phase to be reached.
-Biofilm Development: Numerous pathogens, particularly in chronic wounds, develop biofilms—a protective envelope of extracellular polymeric substances that protects bacteria from host immune reactions and antibiotics. Such a biofilm may cause continuous infections and enhance the challenge of eliminating pathogens.
Cell Migration and Proliferation Impairment: Infections hinder the migration of vital cells (e.g., keratinocytes and fibroblasts) to the wound area, which is vital for tissue regeneration and re-epithelialization.
Delayed Granulation Tissue Formation: The presence of bacteria in the wound area can hinder the formation of granulation tissue, causing the wound not to fill with new tissue and subsequently close.
Increased Risk of Systemic Infection: If left uncontrolled, local infections can move into the nearby tissues and become systemic, traveling into the blood and causing sepsis and other complications.
Most frequent wound pathogens are Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus species, all of which have the capability to significantly worsen wound healing and risk for morbidity.
 
1.3 Need for Antimicrobial Nanocoatings
Systemic antibiotics or topical antiseptics, traditional antimicrobial therapies, are limited in wound treatment, with systemic toxicity, resistance development, and transient effects being some of the limitations. Due to the necessity for long-term and localized antimicrobial protection, nanocoatings have been researched as a tool for wound treatment.
Antimicrobial nanocoatings have a number of benefits over traditional approaches:
Localized and Targeted Action: Nanocoatings have the ability to deliver antimicrobial agents to the wound site directly, allowing for high local concentrations of the active compound, which is important in eliminating infection without influencing the whole system.
Sustained Release: Nanocoatings can give a slow and controlled release of antimicrobial agents, minimizing the frequency of application and ensuring a sustained antimicrobial effect at the wound site.
 Lower Risk of Resistance: The sustained release of antimicrobial agents in minute, sub-lethal amounts preclude bacterial resistance from arising in contrast to the episodic high-dose systemic therapies.
 Biocompatibility: The majority of nanomaterials like silver nanoparticles happen to be biocompatible and can be non-toxic to human cells when applied at the right concentrations, which makes them perfectly suitable for application in wound care.
 Enhanced Wound Healing: Not only do nanocoated surfaces restrict microbial development but also aid in tissue restoration through enhanced cell growth and movement, establishment of moist environment healing, and the provision of a scaffolding platform to facilitate angiogenesis.
 Based on such benefits, antimicrobial nanocoatings have emerged as an imminent method of advancing the improvement in wound healing outcomes, especially for chronic wounds patients or high-risk patients with the possibility of developing infections. Nanotechnology in Wound Care
 Nanotechnology has emerged as a groundbreaking approach to enhance wound healing and infection management. Nanomaterials, with their small size and large surface area, possess unique properties that make them highly effective in promoting healing while simultaneously providing antimicrobial protection. In the context of wound care, these nanomaterials are incorporated into dressings, coatings, and sprays to treat wounds while minimizing infection and improving healing outcomes.
2.1 Overview of Nanomaterials (e.g., Zn particles)
Nanomaterials are substances that possess a size range of 1-100 nanometres and exhibit distinct physical, chemical, and biological properties compared to their bulk counterparts. Zinc (Zn) nanoparticles, for example, have gained attention in wound care due to their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties.
Zinc Nanoparticles in Wound Care: Zinc is a trace element that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism, immune function, and tissue repair. Zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) have been extensively researched for their role in wound healing due to their ability to:
Enhance Collagen Synthesis: Zinc stimulates fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition, crucial for wound closure.
Antimicrobial Activity: ZnNPs exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, particularly against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
Anti-inflammatory Effects: ZnNPs can modulate inflammatory responses, reducing the prolonged inflammation that can impair wound healing.
Promote Epithelialization: Zinc nanoparticles aid in the migration of epithelial cells, facilitating faster re-epithelialization.
The small size of ZnNPs allows them to penetrate deep into wound tissues, providing localized antimicrobial action and promoting healing at the cellular level.
2.2 Types of Nanoparticles Used in Wound Care
Several types of nanoparticles are used in wound care, each offering distinct benefits depending on their composition and surface characteristics. Some common types include:
Metallic Nanoparticles
Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs): As discussed, ZnO NPs possess antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. They are also used to treat skin infections and promote skin regeneration.
Polymeric Nanoparticles
Chitosan Nanoparticles: Chitosan, a biopolymer derived from chitin, has antimicrobial and wound-healing properties. It is commonly used in wound dressings and hydrogels due to its ability to promote cell growth, control infection, and support tissue regeneration.
Polymeric Micelles and Nanogels: These nanoparticles are often used to encapsulate and deliver bioactive compounds, such as antibiotics or growth factors, directly to the wound site. They can improve the solubility and stability of these compounds, allowing for sustained release and localized action.
Lipid-Based Nanoparticles
Liposomes and Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs): These nanoparticles are used for the delivery of antimicrobial agents and growth factors. Liposomes, for instance, can encapsulate hydrophilic or hydrophobic compounds, ensuring their stability and controlled release at the wound site.
Ceramic Nanoparticles
Silica Nanoparticles (SiO2): These nanoparticles can be functionalized to release antimicrobial agents or growth factors. They provide support to tissues and help in the formation of extracellular matrices during wound healing.
2.3 Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Action
The antimicrobial effects of nanoparticles arise from their unique physicochemical properties, including their high surface area-to-volume ratio, small size, and reactivity. The mechanisms through which nanoparticles exert antimicrobial activity include:
Cell Membrane Disruption Nanoparticles, particularly metal nanoparticles like silver and copper, can adhere to the microbial cell membrane, disrupting its integrity. The nanoparticles interact with phospholipids and proteins in the membrane, causing damage, leakage of cellular contents, and ultimately cell death. This disruption is often due to the electrostatic interactions between the positively charged nanoparticles and the negatively charged microbial membranes.
Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Many nanoparticles, such as silver, zinc, and copper, generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) when they come into contact with moisture or biological fluids. ROS, including hydroxyl radicals, superoxide anions, and peroxide, cause oxidative stress in microbial cells, leading to DNA damage, protein denaturation, and cell death. ROS generation is a powerful mechanism of action for antimicrobial nanoparticles.
Ion Release Metal nanoparticles, like silver and copper, release metal ions (Ag⁺, Cu²⁺) into the surrounding environment. These ions have antimicrobial properties that interfere with the metabolism and replication of bacteria. For example, silver ions can bind to the bacterial DNA, preventing replication and transcription, while copper ions disrupt enzymatic functions essential for microbial survival.
Biofilm Disruption Nanoparticles can interfere with the formation and stability of bacterial biofilms, which are protective layers that bacteria form on surfaces. Biofilms are particularly problematic in chronic wound infections as they protect bacteria from both host immune responses and antibiotics. By disrupting biofilms, nanoparticles make the bacteria more susceptible to antimicrobial agents.
Cellular Uptake and Intracellular Interactions The small size and high surface area of nanoparticles enable them to penetrate bacterial cells, where they can interact with intracellular components such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. For instance, silver nanoparticles are known to penetrate bacterial cells and interact with the bacterial DNA, leading to genetic damage and cell death.
Anti-inflammatory Effects Some nanoparticles, such as zinc oxide, exhibit anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce the prolonged inflammation that can occur in infected wounds. By modulating the immune response, these nanoparticles can help accelerate healing and prevent chronic inflammation.
1.    Local Applications in Wound Healing4.1. Burn Wounds
Burn wounds can range from superficial to deep tissue damage, and their healing requires careful management to prevent infection, reduce scarring, and promote tissue regeneration. The treatment often includes:
Topical Agents:
Aloe Vera: Known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, aloe vera gel is commonly applied to minor burns. It helps in reducing redness and swelling while promoting skin regeneration.
Honey: Honey is widely used for burn wound healing due to its antibacterial properties and its ability to maintain a moist wound environment, which aids in faster tissue repair.
Silver Sulfadiazine Cream: This antimicrobial cream is used to prevent infection in second- and third-degree burns. It also helps in promoting healing by preventing bacterial growth.
 

ABSTRACT-Wound infections remain a significant clinical challenge, often leading to delayed healing, increased healthcare costs, and the risk of systemic complications. The emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens has prompted the exploration of advanced antimicrobial strategies. One promising approach is the local application of nanocoated surfaces with antimicrobial properties for wound management. Nanotechnology enables the synthesis of metal and plant-based nanoparticles that can be incorporated into dressings or sprays to provide sustained antimicrobial action, minimize bacterial colonization, and promote tissue regeneration. These nanocoatings—comprising silver, zinc oxide, or phytochemical-loaded nanoparticles—exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, high surface area, and enhanced penetration into microbial biofilms. Additionally, their ability to modulate inflammatory responses and support cellular proliferation makes them ideal candidates for promoting faster and more efficient wound healing. This review explores the current advancements in the synthesis, characterization, and biomedical application of antimicrobial nanocoated surfaces, with a focus on their local utility in wound care. Special attention is given to eco-friendly, plant-based formulations that combine traditional knowledge with modern nanotechnology, offering a safer and more sustainable alternative to conventional therapies.

5.    CONCLUSION
 
The integration of local applications and nanocoated technologies in wound healing represents a significant advancement in modern therapeutics. Traditional wound treatments have been greatly enhanced by herbal and natural remedies like honey, aloe vera, and silver-based creams, which provide effective antimicrobial and regenerative benefits across a range of wound types including burns, chronic ulcers, and surgical wounds.
However, the emergence of nanocoated applications has elevated wound care by offering sustained antimicrobial effects, enhanced tissue regeneration, reduced reliance on systemic antibiotics, and improved moisture retention and barrier protection. These advantages collectively address critical challenges in wound management such as infection control, slow healing, and antibiotic resistance.
As evidence continues to grow, it is clear that nanotechnology-based interventions—especially when combined with bioactive herbal compounds—offer a promising, future-oriented approach to faster, safer, and more efficient wound healing. Continued research, standardization, and clinical validation are essential to fully harness the potential of these innovative therapies in both acute and chronic wound care.
