Wound care is an essential component of healthcare, with the primary goal of promoting healing, preventing infection and minimizing complications. However, the increasing global concern surrounding antimicrobial resistance has necessitated a revaluation of traditional wound care methods. Antimicrobial reagents have become a focal point in wound care, offering innovative solutions to mitigate the risks associated with infections and the overuse of antibiotics. This article delves into the realm of antimicrobial reagents for wound care, discussing their types, mechanisms of action and potential implications for the future of wound management. Antiseptics are chemical agents applied directly to the wound or the surrounding skin to reduce the risk of infection. Common antiseptics include iodine, hydrogen peroxide and alcohol. These reagents work by destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms on the wound's surface. Silver has long been recognized for its antimicrobial properties. Silver-based reagents are available in various forms, including silver sulfadiazine creams and silver-impregnated dressings. These products release silver ions that disrupt the growth and function of bacteria, making them particularly effective in preventing wound infections.
