BC properties for wound healing.

Properties	Effects on wound healing	Ref.
Biocompatibility and biodegradability	Low risk of fibrotic scaring avoidance of foreign body reaction	[89]
Mechanical stability and high permeability to gas and liquids	Protection from infection absorption of exudates	[90]
High capacity for liquid loading and flexibility	Efficient recovery easy removal avoidance of secondary injury	[91]
Hydrophilicity and water holding	Pain reduction provision of the moist environment	[92]
