Nano formulated proanthocyanidins as an effective wound healing component

Dermal wound healing properties of redox-active grape seed proanthocyanidins.

Angiogenesis plays a central role in wound healing. Among many known growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is believed to be the most prevalent, efficacious, and long-term signal that is known to stimulate angiogenesis in wounds. The wound site is rich in oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide, mostly contributed by neutrophils and macrophages. We proposed that oxidants in the ...

Wound Healing Potential of Formulated Extract from Hibiscus Sabdariffa Calyx

Wound healing agents support the natural healing process, reduce trauma and likelihood of secondary infections and hasten wound closure. The wound healing activities of water in oil cream of the methanol extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Malvaceae) was evaluated in rats with superficial skin excision wounds. Antibacterial activities against Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Ech...

An effective method for enhanced lower extremity wound healing

Tissue expansion is an important technique for reconstruction of soft tissue defects. It is commonly used in the care of burns, breast reconstruction and pediatric plastic surgery. The phenomenon of tissue expansion is well known and observed in pregnancy. Skin expands in response to tension generated by the increased abdominal volume during pregnancy. This response has been found to be a metab...

Advanced Therapeutic Dressings For Effective Wound Healing

Use of the wound healing trajectory as an outcome determinant for acute wound healing.

Accurate and clinically practical methods for measuring the progress of acute wound healing is necessary before interventions designed to optimize and even accelerate acute wound healing can be applied. Complete wound closure rates and operative wound closure severity are irrelevant to most acute wounds since most are closed at the time of primary tissue repair and remain closed throughout heal...
