Wound dressings – a review
TLDR
The history of dressings from its earliest inception to the current status is traced and the advantage and limitations of the dressing materials are discussed.Abstract:
Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process which requires suitable environment to promote healing process. With the advancement in technology, more than 3000 products have been developed to treat different types of wounds by targeting various aspects of healing process. The present review traces the history of dressings from its earliest inception to the current status and also discusses the advantage and limitations of the dressing materials.read more
