This bibliometric review examines the current state of research on fucoidan, a sulphated polysaccharide found in brown seaweed spe- cies, and its potential for wound healing. The review included 58 studies that investigated fucoidan’s effects on wound healing, revealing that it possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant prop- erties that could aid in the healing process. Fucoidan was also found to promote cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, essential for wound healing. However, the optimal dosage, treat- ment duration, safety, and efficacy of fucoidan in various wound types and patient populations still require further investigation. Additionally, advanced wound dressings like hydrogels have gar- nered significant attention for their potential in wound healing. While this review indicates promise for fucoidan as a natural wound healing compound, it underscores the need for additional clinical trials to determine its optimal use as a commercial thera- peutic agent in wound healing.
