Wound dressings represent a part of the management of diabetic foot ulceration. Ideally, dressings should alleviate symptoms, provide wound protection, and encourage healing. No single dressing fulfills all the requirements of a diabetic patient with an infected foot ulcer. Dressings research in this area is generally poor. However, each category of dressings has particular characteristics that...

Deep Wounds: Colostrum Dressing Versus Conventional Dressing Sanjay Chatterjee and 2 Rituraj Assistant Professor, 2 Resident, Department of General Surgery NIMS Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur, India *Corresponding Author : Sanjay Chatterjee Abstract Wound dressing plays an important role in wound healing. Newer type of wound dressings includes Biological dressings like collagen granules, ...

In recent years, textile based wound dressing products have grown from simple gauze to smart dressings with considerable technical and commercial impact. Today, wound dressings are manufactured from a large variety of different materials and applied in all phases of wound healing. In this study, commercially available wound dressing products were investigated and compared in vitro. The dressing...

nowadays, hydrogels are widely used as wound dressings in biomedical applications. similar to other types of the moist (wet) wound dressings, it is necessary to have sufficient information about their dehydration kinetics during the pre-usage period (e.g. storage duration) and also the wound healing process. in this work, hydrogel wound dressings based on polyvinyl alcohol were prepared by cycl...

An isothermal microcalorimetric assay was used to quantify the efficacy of a silver-containing wound dressing against two common wound pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The growth patterns of the two species were unique and varied depending on the environment in which the organisms were grown. Addition of non-silver-containing dressing altered the growth kinetics whil...

Tissue-engineered biological dressings offer promise in the treatment of burns, chronic ulcers, donor site and other surgical wounds, and a variety of dermatologic conditions. Despite this promise, cellular tissue-engineered products such a Dermagraft and Apligraf have suffered setbacks in recent years with a lower market share than the commercial promoters of these products anticipated. AlloDe...

Biological hydrogels have been increasingly sought after as wound dressings or scaffolds for regenerative medicine, owing to their inherent biofunctionality in biological environments. Especially in moist wound healing, the ideal material should absorb large amounts of wound exudate while remaining mechanically competent in situ. Despite their large hydration, however, current biological hydrog...
