Initial wound care Once the initial assessment has been completed, the wound needs to be cleaned thoroughly. Twenty years ago this wound care was done in a hydrotherapy tank. This language is still used today in the terms “hydro,”“tanking,” and “bathing” even though lowering patients in...

In this injury model, the use of a 3D-printed punch template enabled the plastic tip to be confined within the small wound area produced by the 1.0 mm punch and also facilitated the generation of multiple wounds within a single tissue culture well (Fig. 2). Scientific Reports | 6:...
Burn injuries are the most severe and physically debilitating injuries affecting almost every organ system resulting in high mortality and morbidity. Excision of early burn wounds and skin grafting are standard clinical treatments that have greatly improved the results for patients with serious burn injur...
The ventral side of the rabbit ear was covered by the semiocclusive dressing Tegaderms (3 M Health Care, St. Paul, MN) to prevent desiccation of the wounds. No treatment was done for normal rabbit ear wounds, half of the rabbits in the DM group were not treated while the other half ...
49 To assess the early phase of the inflammatory response to wounding in vivo, a plastic template was taped to the volar surface of the nondominant forearm (shifted slightly laterally for the second GCRC admission); a 350–mm Hg vacuum was applied through a pump attached to a regulator ...
New methods of wound care are at the forefront of limb salvage and can lead to improved methods for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. • The use of bioengineered alternative tissues does not preclude the need for maximizing perfusion, regular debridement, and off-loading. ...
The current standard of care for DFUs aims to support wound healing through regular debridement, wound dressings, and pressure off-loading [22]. The removal of necrotic tissue by debridement aids healing and skin regeneration through the elimination of infection, and the removal of the physical ba...
