The effects of biological wound dressings on the healing process
Clinical Materials, 1991Three major biological dressings are available for the temporary closure of wounds: partial-thickness cadaveric human allograft skin, several forms of partial-thickness antibiotic-treated porcine xenograft skin, and human amnion. Generally, biological dressings reduce pain, close the wound to contamination and fluid loss, and prepare the wound bed for

Evaluation of Biological Dressings
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1980The use of biological dressings in the treatment of burns is reviewed. Many theoretical advantages were initially proposed, but time and controlled studies have disproved some of them. Biological dressings are nevertheless helpful in relieving pain, protecting exposed vital structures, reducing exudative protein and erythrocyte loss and evaporative ...

Advances in cellular biology and knowledge in wound healing and growth factors have given us a wide variety of choices to attack the problem of the complex burn wound. Split-thickness skin grafting with autograft is at present the standard of care. It, however, is not an ideal substitute and frequently is not available for full-burn coverage.

Dermatologic Surgery, 2009
Various biologic dressings have been developed in an effort to find the ideal skin substitute for use in acute and chronic wounds. There are many potential uses for such dressings, but no panaceas exist. Because millions of health care dollars are spent each year on wound care, and a great deal of patient morbidity occurs from these wounds, the search ...

The Hyphecan cap: a biological fingertip dressing
Injury, 1998An occlusive biological dressing, the Hyphecan cap, was evaluated in the management of full-thickness pulp defects of fingers and thumb in 20 consecutive patients. The cap was applied directly to the tip of the injured finger and allowed to separate gradually over the course of several weeks as new skin regenerated.

Homograft Skin: A Versatile Biologic Dressing
AORN Journal, 1969The most important step during the recovery of the burn patient is the conversion of the open wound to a closed wound. The covering may be from regeneration of skin from residual epidermal elements or by the application of autograft. In large or untidy wounds, attempts have been made to use substitutes for the patient’s own skin.

The use of biological dressings in radical vulvectomy
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1980The use of biological dressing techniques accelerates recovery from radical vulvectomy combined with lymphadenectomy. Our earliest interest in the field arose as a result of the morbidity rate which ensued subsequent to surgical therapy of cancer of the vulva.

An experience of hen-egg membrane as a biological dressing
Burns, 1982Abstract The use of the hen-egg membrane as a biological dressing is reported here. The results are satisfactory compared with the other kinds of biological dressing materials. It is worthwhile to emphasize that this membrane is inexpensive and easily obtained upon requirement. There are several study reports regarding effects of biological dressing
