Application of 3D-Printed Bioinks in Chronic Wound Healing: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: Chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous ulcers, pose significant clinical challenges and burden healthcare systems worldwide. The advent of 3D bioprinting technologies offers innovative solutions for enhancing chronic wound care. This scoping review evaluates the applications, methodologies, and effectiveness of 3D-printed bioinks in chronic wound healing, focusing on bioinks incorporating living cells to facilitate wound closure and tissue regeneration. Relevant studies were identified through comprehensive searches in databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, following strict inclusion criteria. These studies employ various 3D bioprinting techniques, predominantly extrusion-based, to create bioinks from natural or synthetic polym
