At present, the best source of safe and reliable epithelial stem cells are auto...

Bulky dressings are uncomfortable, can be constrictive and affect flap viability, obscure the surgical field, and are disconcerting to the patient and family. When a facelift is performed in conjunction with full-face laser resurfacing, the external dressings can abrade the raw skin, contributing to delayed healing or scarring. No evidence shows that using post facelift dressings prevents hemat...

     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...

Introduction Wound dressings that adhere to the wound surface can disrupt the wound bed and destroy newly formed, healthy tissue on removal, resulting in a disturbed, rough surface. This often happens with simple gauze pad. To avoid conglutination with the wound, e.g. combined fleece compresses possess a micro-porous polyester foil or impregnated gauze is used. So far, it hasn’t been studied wh...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of antimicrobial silver-donating dressings for venous leg ulcers compared with simple non-adherent (also known as low-adherent) dressings. DESIGN A pragmatic, prospective randomised controlled trial (RCT) and cost-effectiveness analysis of silver-donating versus low-adherent dressings in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. A non-ra...

Abstract Wound healing is a complicated system that necessitates an appropriate environment to aid healing. dressing among the most important external variables in wound repair. Technology advancements have led creation of variety dressings treat various types by focusing on four stages Simplicity application, sterility, antibacterial, non‐adherent, gaseous exchange, non‐toxicity, and other qua...

antibiotic resistance to microorganisms is one of the major problems faced in the field of wound care in burns patients. silver nanoparticles have come up as potent antimicrobial agent and are being evaluated in diverse medical applications ranging from silver based dressings to silver coated medical devices. we aimed in present study to test the release of nanosilver from nanosilver wound dres...

The evolution of surgical dressings is traced from 1600 B.C. to A.D. 1944. The availability of an increasing variety of man-made fibres and films from 1944 onwards has stimulated work on wound dressings, and some of the more important contributions, both clinical and experimental, are discussed. The functions of a wound dressing and the properties which the ideal wound dressing should possess a...

BACKGROUND Hemostatic dressings are advanced topical dressings designed to control hemorrhage by enhancing clot formation. These dressings may be effective when used on injuries sustained in junctional zones. The Israeli Defense Forces Medical Corps (IDF-MC) chose to equip its medical personnel with the QuikClot Combat Gauze. There is a paucity of data describing clinical use and results of hem...

–Biomaterials are used in regenerative medicine, implantable materials, controlled release carriers or scaffolds for tissue engineering. Biological dressings like fibrin glue, gelatin sheets, chitosan films, collagen is popular for quicker wound healing. These polymers when used in combination such as fibringelatin, fibrin-chitosan has shown better results, than when used alone. Thus, the prese...
