Abstract EN
Successful wound care involves optimizing patient local and systemic conditions in conjunction with an ideal wound healing environment.
Many different products have been developed to influence this wound environment to provide a pathogen-free, protected, and moist area for healing to occur.
Newer products are currently being used to replace or augment various substrates in the wound healing cascade.
This review of the current state of the art in wound-healing products looks at the latest applications of silver in microbial prophylaxis and treatment, including issues involving resistance and side effects, the latest uses of negative pressure wound devices, advanced dressings and skin substitutes, biologic wound products including growth factor applications, and hyperbaric oxygen as an adjunct in wound healing.
With the abundance of available products, the goal is to find the most appropriate modality or combination of modalities to optimize healing.
