Aim: The colonization of a wound by microorganisms typically occurs as a continuum extending from contamination, to colonization, and infection. The predominant microbial species observed...
Wound irrigation is an essential step to clean the wound bed through cleansing, irrigating, moistening and debriding the wound, which facilitates healing in acute and chronic wound care. ...
Introduction: Compression therapy is the standard of care for edema control and lower limb wound healing. The goal of compression therapy is to provide, sustained, therapeutic compression...
Hair follicle neogenesis (HFN) occurs in adult skin upon large skin excisions in mice, serving as a rare regenerative model in mammalian wound healing. Nonetheless, wound healing typicall...
Background - The growing demand for cell and tissue-based products, rich in growth factors, multiple cell types, and extracellular matrix, stems from their ability to accelerate the wound...
Standard treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) is expensive and, for more than half of DFU patients, unsuccessful1. Health care policy decision makers should seek the most effec...
Objective: Pressure injuries (PIs) are a difficult, costly and growing problem in the US and worldwide. Available treatments have high failure rates and, even when they are successful, wo...
Purpose: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is a commonly used modality to treat wounds. NPWT helps promote wound healing by decreasing edema, removal of tissue debris and exudate. Tr...
Chronic wounds, including diabetic ulcers, are difficult to treat and often fail to heal with current therapies. A novel, fully synthetic hybrid-scale fiber matrix* may provide a new trea...
OBJECTIVE: Real-world effectiveness was evaluated in a large patient population at 246 US treatment facilities comparing a purified native cross-linked extracellular matrix plus polyhexam...
