THE WOUND-HEALING EFFECT OF A NOVEL FIBROBLASTS-IMPREGNATED HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE GEL IN A RAT FULL-THICKNESS BURN MODEL: A PRECLINICAL STUDY

The Wound-Healing Effect of a Novel Fibroblasts-Impregnated Hydroxyethylcellulose Gel in a Rat Full-Thickness Burn Model: A Preclinical Study

Background/Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of a cell-containing wound dressing based on fibroblasts in hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) gel for the local treatment of deep partial-thickness and/or full-thickness skin burns in an animal model.Methods: The rats (male Wistar, n = 100) were subjected to a full-thickness th

A comparison of efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma and conventional sutures in anchoring split skin graft on wounds

Context: Split thickness skin grafting Pain Management (STSG) restores cutaneous cover over wounds thus protecting the underlying surface from contamination, fluid loss and stimulates healing.Autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) provides a large number of platelets and high concentration of growth factors which promote overall uptake of STSG.Aims:
