Abstract

With the increasing demand for wound care and treatment worldwide, traditional dressings have been unable to meet the needs of the existing market due to their limited antibacterial properties and other defects. Electrospinning technology has attracted more and more researchers’ attention as a simple and versatile manufacturing method. The electrospun nanofiber membrane has a unique structure and biological function similar to the extracellular matrix (ECM), and is considered an advanced wound dressing. They have significant potential in encapsulating and delivering active substances that promote wound healing. This article first discusses the common types of wound dressing, and then summarizes the development of electrospun fiber preparation technology. Finally, the polymers and common biologically active substances used in electrospinning wound dressings are summarized, and portable electrospinning equipment is also discussed. Additionally, future research needs are put forward.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • By adjusting the concentration and viscosity of the solution, the voltage of the applied electric field, the distance between the receiving plate and the emission nozzle, and the shape and type of the collector, electrospinning fibers with different fiber diameters, fiber porosity, specific surface area, and spinning arrangements can be obtained.

    “By adjusting the concentration and viscosity of the solution, the voltage of the applied electric field, the distance between the receiving plate and the emission nozzle, and the shape and type of the collector such as static or rotating, the electrospinning fibers with different fiber diameters, fiber porosity, specific surface area and spinning arrangements can be obtained [63, 72, 73].”

    From Application of PLCL as a biodegradable polymer in biomedical engineering (2026) · cites this paper as [73]

    Section 3.1 (page unavailable) says that adjusting solution viscosity, voltage and receiving distance changes nanofiber morphology and size. The Conclusions describe high porosity, high specific surface area and adjustable morphology, but the copy does not establish that changing collector shape or type, including static versus rotating collectors, produces the claimed differences in porosity, surface area or fiber arrangement.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
