Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.
A clinical evaluation of Prontosan wound cleanser was undertaken with ten community care patients where saline had been used for at least one month previously on wounds that had a mean duration of 2.6 years. [37] The findings include; an overall reduction in wound size, a reduction in malodour, reduction or elimination of wound pain.
A week after the injury, the edges of the wound are pulled together by contraction. Contraction is an important part of the healing process when damage has been extensive, and involves shrinking in size of underlying contractile connective tissue, which brings the wound margins toward one another.

Scar free healing is the process by which significant injuries can heal without permanent damage to the tissue the injury has affected. In most healing, scars form due to the fibrosis and wound contraction, however in scar free healing, tissue is completely regenerated. During the 1990s, published research on the subject increased; it is a ...
Granulation tissue is composed of tissue matrix supporting a variety of cell types, [3] most of which can be associated with one of the following functions: formation of extracellular matrix; operation of the immune system; vascularisation; An excess of granulation tissue (caro luxurians) is informally referred to as "proud flesh". [4]
Hydrogel dressing is a medical dressing based on hydrogels, three-dimensional hydrophilic structure. [1] The insoluble hydrophilic structures absorb polar wound exudates and allow oxygen diffusion at the wound bed to accelerate healing. [2]
This process of tissue repair is a complex one, with tight regulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and degradation ensuring maintenance of normal tissue architecture. However, the entire process, although necessary, can lead to a progressive irreversible fibrotic response if tissue injury is severe or repetitive, or if the wound ...
