Microfluidic wound bandage: localized oxygen modulation of collagen maturation.
Restoring tissue oxygenation has the potential to improve poorly healing wounds with impaired microvasculature. Compared with more established wound therapy using hyperbaric oxygen chambers, topical oxygen therapy has lower cost and better patient comfort, although topical devices have provided inconsistent results. To provide controlled topical oxygen while minimizing moisture loss, a major is...
متن کاملWound healing angiogenesis: the clinical implications of a simple mathematical model.
Nonhealing wounds are a major burden for health care systems worldwide. In addition, a patient who suffers from this type of wound usually has a reduced quality of life. While the wound healing process is undoubtedly complex, in this paper we develop a deterministic mathematical model, formulated as a system of partial differential equations, that focusses on an important aspect of successful h...
متن کاملSynergistic Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen and Decellularized Human Amniotic Membrane on Full-Thickness Diabetic Wound Healing in Rats
Background and purpose: One of the common complications of diabetes is impairment of wound healing. The aim of the present study was to investigate the synergistic effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and decellularized human amniotic membrane (dHAM) in healing of full-thickness diabetic wounds in rats. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 60 diabetic male rats were randoml...
متن کاملTopical oxygen wound therapies for chronic wounds: a review.
UNLABELLED Chronic wounds are an increasing problem in our ageing population and can arise in many different ways. Over the past decades it has become evident that sufficient oxygen supply is an essential factor of appropriate wound healing. Sustained oxygen deficit has a detrimental impact on wound healing, especially for patients with chronic wounds. This has been proven for wounds associated...
متن کاملApplication of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Oximetry to Monitor Oxygen in Wounds in Diabetic Models
A lack of oxygen is classically described as a major cause of impaired wound healing in diabetic patients. Even if the role of oxygen in the wound healing process is well recognized, measurement of oxygen levels in a wound remains challenging. The purpose of the present study was to assess the value of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry to monitor pO2 in wounds during the healing pr...
متن کاملOxygen and Wound Healing
Oxygen is essential to several critical mechanisms in wound healing, including bacterial killing, angiogenesis, fibroplasia, and epithelialization. As a substrate, oxygen provides the respiratory burst necessary for white blood cells to kill engulfed bacteria, hastening resolution of inflammation so that a preliminary matrix can be formed for subsequent fibroplasia and epithelialization. Additi...
