The review presents the characteristics of modern biocompatible and biodegradable wound dressings on the basis of seaweed polysaccharides (carrageenans of red algae, fucoidans and alginates of brown algae, ulvans of green algae) and notes the key physicochemical and biological properties that are important for constructing wounds dressings. There are information on various types of wound dressings and results of experimental and clinical tests of dressings in the treatment of wounds of various origins. Particular attention is paid to hydrogel dressings, since hydrogels meet the basic requirements for an ideal wound dressing, and many marine polysaccharides are able to form hydrogels.
