Non-healing wounds often become infected, increasing the risk of life-threatening complications, which poses a significant socioeconomic burden. Aiming at the improved management of infected wounds, a variety of wound dressings that incorporate antimicrobials (AMDs), namely polyhexanide (poly(hexamethylene biguanide); PHMB), have been introduced in the wound-care market. However, many wound-care professionals agree that none of these wound dressings show comprehensive or optimal antimicrobial activity. This manuscript summarizes and discusses studies on PHMB-releasing membranes (PRMs) for wound dressings, detailing their preparation, physical properties that are relevant to the context of AMDs, drug loading and release, antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, wound-healing capacity, and clinical trials conducted. Some of these PRMs were able to improve wound healing in in vivo models, with no associated cytotoxicity, but significant differences in study design make it difficult to compare overall efficacies. It is hoped that this review, which includes, whenever available, international standards for testing AMDs, will provide a framework for future studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/membranes12121281","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,19]],"date-time":"2022-12-19T04:54:13Z","timestamp":1671425653000},"page":"1281","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Polyhexanide-Releasing Membranes for Antimicrobial Wound Dressings: A Critical Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1372-5954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f3nio Jorge","family":"Guiomar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemical Process Engineering and Forest Products Research Centre, Department of Life Sciences, University of Coimbra, 3000-456 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5197-1697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana M.","family":"Urbano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Molecular Physical-Chemistry R&D Unit, Center of Investigation in Environment, Genetics and Oncobiology-CIMAGO, Department of Life Sciences, University of Coimbra, 3000-456 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"665","DOI":"10.1152\/physrev.00067.2017","article-title":"Wound healing: A cellular perspective","volume":"99","author":"Rodrigues","year":"2019","journal-title":"Physiol.
