2. Silicone gel sheeting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_gel_sheeting

   The exact mechanism of action of silicone gel sheeting has not been fully studied. Currently, many proposed mechanisms explain the efficacy of such treatment, including the occlusion and hydration effect, increased body surface temperature, polarized electric charge, immunological effects, etc. [9] The occlusion and hydration effect is the most studied mechanism of action.

3. Dressing (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressing_(medicine)

   A dressing or compress [1] is a piece of material such as a pad applied to a wound to promote healing and protect the wound from further harm. A dressing is designed to be in direct contact with the wound, as distinguished from a bandage, which is most often used to hold a dressing in place. Modern dressings are sterile.

4. Hydrocolloid dressing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocolloid_dressing

   The moist conditions produced under the dressing are intended to promote fibrinolysis, angiogenesis and wound healing, without causing softening and breaking down of tissue. The gel which is formed as a result of the absorption of wound exudate is held in place within the structure of the adhesive matrix.

5. Negative-pressure wound therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-pressure_wound...

   Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), also known as a vacuum assisted closure (VAC), is a therapeutic technique using a suction pump, tubing, and a dressing to remove excess exudate and promote healing in acute or chronic wounds and second- and third-degree burns. The therapy involves the controlled application of sub-atmospheric pressure to ...

6. Liquid bandage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_bandage

   Liquid bandages are suitable for clean cuts that close easily and shallow small wounds, as it will help both sides of the wound to bond and produce a suture-like effect. Due to the drying of liquid wound dressing, it will form a nonelastic film on the wound and cannot absorb tissue fluid. If the wound area is too large, it will actually hinder ...

7. Artificial skin - Wikipedia

   In one case, however, a particular type of collagen graft led to significant delay of wound closure. [6] Careful study of histology samples revealed that grafts that delayed wound closure induced the synthesis of new dermis de novo at the injury site, instead of forming scar, which is the normal outcome of the spontaneous wound healing response.
