The objective of this manuscript is to review recent articles, with particular emphasis on collagen as wound healing
material those articles published in the period of 2014 to 2019. Nowadays, wound healing is the common and simple

Those wound dressing are required to cover the large surfaced open wounds such as extensive burns, pressure ulcers, foot
sores etc., wound healing material should have some significant features such as, high healing efficacy, anti-scar formation,
providing favourable environment for wound management. The collagen plays an important role in tissue formation and
has more effect on wound healing. There are many researches based on the wound dressing materials.
