Abstract. This study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of modern wound dressings, their classification, functional properties and application in human and veterinary medicine. A wound dressing is considered as an active medical device designed to create optimal conditions for tissue regeneration. The paper presents a historical overview demonstrating the evolution of wound dressings from primitive materials of ancient civilizations to the high-tech products of the 21st century. A detailed classification of dressings into three main categories has been conducted: traditional, interactive, and bioactive. Key properties, indications and contraindications for use have been defined for each type. Special attention is paid to the mechanisms of interaction between dressings and the wound surface, including the regulation of a moist environment, gas exchange, and cellular processes. As part of a market analysis, leading foreign and domestic manufacturers have been identified, and patterns of application of various types of dressings in these two related fields have been established. It was revealed that high-tech specialized solutions prevail in human medicine, whereas durable, cost-effective, and easily secured materials are in demand in veterinary practice. The study results emphasize the need for further development of specialized veterinary dressings adapted to the anatomical and behavioral characteristics of animals. The work has practical significance for clinicians and veterinary specialists, providing systematic data for selecting the optimal wound dressing.
Keywords: alginate dressings, bioactive dressings, veterinary medicine, human medicine, wound healing, interactive coatings, dressing classification, wound dressings, wound exudate, modern materials, comparative analysis, trademarks.
