Wound dressing is a material applied directly to the wound site that promotes wound healing and prevents scar formation. It keeps the wound area moist and protects against bacterial invasion[1]. Rapid wound healing and regeneration are essential for improving the barrier function of injured skin [2]. Wound healing and management is a problem that needs to be improved and developed in the world. Wound dressings are various materials that cover a wound to protect it from damage and pathogen attacks and to promote healing [3]. Several different types of dressings, including polyurethane foam, membrane dressings, hydrocolloid dressings, hydrogel dressings, alginate dressings, semi-permeable polyurethane membrane dressings, and genetically engineered flax dressings, are used all over the world [4], [5]. The polyurethane, as a biomaterial, contains soft and hard segments and and it allows the product’s performance to change depending on the ratio of these components. It has excellent biocompatibility and low durability. Its dimensions are due to its excellent mechanical structure [2]. In this study, we tested the effectiveness of polyurethane foam as a wound dressing. The morphological properties were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was utilised to observe the chemical interactions between the components. Biocompatibility tests were performed to determine its effect on live cells. Antimicrobial tests were conducted to test its effectiveness on microorganisms.
