Advances in the Management of Skin Wounds with Synthetic Dressings
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Treating wounds under normal wound healing processes often require little or no intervention, consisting primarily of debridement, as during the inflammatory stage the cells clear the wound to healing. However wound care professionals face many challenges in treating acute wounds with impairment on healing such as burn injuries or chronic wounds like diabetic, vascular and pressure ulcers. Wound healing is a complex process of several stages that requires being free of complications.
