The unique aspects of polymer-derived nanofibers provide significant potential in the areas of biomedical and health care applications. Much research has demonstrated several plausible nanofibers to overcome the modern-day challenges in the field of medical and healthcare. The present review highlights the electrochemical-based nanofibre technologies, special properties of such nanofibres, fabrication strategies (by the electrospinning technique), and their usage in biomedical and healthcare applications. Also, it summarizes the current research on nanofibers as pharmaceutical agents and sustained drug release, tissue-engineered scaffolds, wound healing dressing materials, and antiviral healthcare units like masks, respirators, and personal protective equipment (PPE kits). Attention is given to exclusive sorts of ultrafine fibers (e.g. mesoporous, hollow, core-shell nanofibers) fabricated from various biopolymers and their achievable biomedical applications.
