Amniotic Membrane in the Treatment of Leg Ulcers
نویسنده
چکیده
Topical use of plants or extracts as poultices and humidifiers of open wounds, as well as for systemic action, by ingestion. The technique of suturing has a prehistoric origin, having occurred between the primitive peoples of South America, parts of Africa and India, using the claws of giant soldier ants. It is interesting to note that this was occurring on different continents long before international communication was even possible.
