Wound Dressing Layer Design
Rapid and proper healing is important in the treatment of wounds such as severe burns, trauma, diabetic,decubitus and venous stasis ulcers, and similar tissue damages. In cases of severe and large amounts of skin loss, or in the presence of difficult and non-healing wounds, immediate coverage of the wound surface with a dressing is needed. The dressing achieves the functions of the natural skin by protecting the area from the loss of fluid and proteins, preventing infection through bacterial invasion, and subsequent tissue damage. In some cases, it improves healing by providing a support for the proliferating cells.
