Summary of recent advances in foam dressings.

Dressing Composition	Dressing Material Evaluated/ Group of Subjects	Key Findings	Reference
Mesostructured cellular silica foams (MCF) decorated with silver ions (Ag)	Control, MCF and MCF-Ag	MCF-Ag antibacterial haemostatic agent with splendid water absorption and antibacterial capacity	[119]
Polyurethane biomacromolecule combined foam (PUC), asiaticoside (AS), Silver nanoparticle (AgNPs)	PUC-AS-AgNPs, commercial gauze	shorter wound closure time, higher reepithelialisation and less pain score	[120]
Hyaluronic acid, a cell wall fragment of Cutibacterium acnes (LimpiAD)	LimpiAD foam	Prevented skin lesions or any sign of skin damage	[121]
