This narrative review summarizes how propolis-based materials, such as polymer composites and electrospun scaffolds, can be engineered into wound dressings with antimicrobial and healing properties.
It outlines the properties of propolis and classifies material approaches, including natural and synthetic polymer composites, films, and electrospun scaffolds designed to provide antimicrobial activity, hemostasis, and controlled substance delivery. The review discusses specific applications for different wound types and concludes that propolis-based materials, particularly composite films and electrospun scaffolds, demonstrate potential to accelerate wound healing.
