Summary
Cryogel materials have found wide application in biotechnology and regenerative medicine. As wound materials, they have unique properties that distinguish them from other dressings. Due to the growing interest in them, various materials and their combinations are now being used to make cryogel wound dressings. In this review we tried to collect the most complete list of cryogel wound dressings with antimicrobial properties, to consider what natural and synthetic polymers were used in their synthesis, as well as what antibacterial agents were used by the authors to create them. We also tried to find out the pros and cons of the materials used to create dressings for wounds and to find out the prospects for the future in this direction.

Keywords: wound materials, cryogels, biomaterials, antibacterial wound dressings.
