    TLDR Marine collagen helps wounds heal faster and better than regular dressings.
    This review highlights the use of marine collagen in advanced wound dressing technologies, emphasizing its benefits in wound healing. Marine collagen is preferred due to its safety, non-toxic nature, biodegradability, abundance, and low cost. It plays a crucial role in accelerating the four stages of the healing process by promoting cell migration and skin regeneration, especially in chronic wounds. The review discusses the manufacturing of scaffolds from marine sources, which have shown a significant effect on wound healing compared to normal wound dressings. Various types of scaffolds, such as surgically applied scaffolds, sponges, and hydrogel scaffolds loaded with drugs, have been explored, with drug-loaded scaffolds demonstrating the highest wound-healing acceleration rate.
