      <abstract>
        <p>Wound healing involves a carefully orchestrated series of stages, overseen by cellular, humoral, and molecular processes. Although this complex progression unfolds organically, it can be enhanced and hastened by employing diverse dressing methods, products, and active substances. Demonstrably, adept wound care can forestall issues linked to persistent non-healing wounds, and the use of topical treatments has markedly elevated the chances of survival for individuals with substantial chronic wounds and burns. Nurses hold a pivotal position in wound care, and their grasp of fundamental wound management principles is anticipated to significantly impact the quality of wound treatment. Nurses offer accessible, cost-efficient, evidence-based, safe, and effective care. Therefore, studying innovative techniques and dressings for wound care is crucial in nursing practice as innovations in wound care can lead to better outcomes for patients, including faster healing, reduced pain, and decreased risk of infection. By staying abreast of the latest advancements, nurses can provide more effective care and improve the overall patient experience. This review aims to examine the evidence presented in current literature concerning the ramifications of employing novel wound care dressings and techniques in nursing practice. In recent years, advancements in wound dressings have emerged, introducing novel alternatives such as combinations of diverse polymers and the integration of nanotechnology to produce superior materials while ensuring an optimal healing environment. Progress in hydrogel fabrication, coupled with advancements in nanotechnology, holds promise for the development of innovative and versatile technologies in the realm of wound dressing and wound repair. Additionally, more innovative dressings are also being introduced in practice to further promote wound healing and enhance patient outcomes.&#13;
