Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC)-Nanoskin® has become established as a new biomaterial and can be used in several medicine areas, especially for medical devices mainly in dental and orthopedics applications. In addition, biomaterials have rise because of the increased interest in tissue engineering and regeneratine medicine materials for wound care and skin cancer treatment. The BC process production can be changed by different fermentation process. It has particular properties that make it an ideal candidate as a medical material: high mechanical properties, biocompatibility to the host tissue, and production in various shapes and sizes. This review describes a behavior investigation of this biomaterial in human medicine with bacterial cellulose, skin cancer, covid-19 and 3-D print for medical area.

Summary
Nanotechnologies can be applied in several areas. The confinement of atoms at the nanoscale radically modifies the properties of materials, allowing for the restructuring or manufacture of numerous products [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Defined as the engineering of functional systems at a molecular scale, nanotechnology is based on the ability to manipulate and process individual atoms and molecules, something that promises to revolutionize in the short/medium term areas as diverse as the aerospace industry, tissue engineering, the food industry and medicine, among many others [5]-[10]. Indicated for necrotic wounds and in the presence of fibrin, being contraindicated in cases of ischemic injury. It must be changed whenever it is saturated, and may remain for up to 7 days. The frequency of changing this dressing depends on the volume of exudate drained, and it can remain in the wound bed for up to 5 days. The wound must be irrigated with the solution and covered with an occlusive dressing As it is an easy-access and low-cost product, it is widely used.
