A novel model of chronic wounds: importance of redox imbalance and biofilm-forming bacteria for establishment of chronicity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Chronic wounds have a large impact on health, affecting ∼6.5 M people and costing ∼$25B/year in the US alone. We previously discovered that a genetically modified mouse model displays impaired healing similar to problematic wounds in humans and that ...

Biofilm and Equine Limb Wounds
Animals, 2021 In chronic wounds in humans, biofilm formation and wound chronicity are linked, as biofilms contribute to chronic inflammation and delayed healing. Biofilms are aggregates of bacteria, and living as biofilms is the default mode of bacterial life; within ...

The Importance of Hydration in Wound Healing: Reinvigorating the clinical perspective [PDF]
, 2016 Balancing skin hydration levels is important as any disruption in skin integrity will result in disturbance of the dermal water balance. The discovery that a moist wound healing environment actively supports the healing response when compared to a dry ...

Albanian Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2019 Chronic wounds represent an enormous health, social and economic burden in modern society. With the increasing incidence of diabetes and obesity as well as the ageing of the population, we correspondingly expect a rise in the incidence of chronic wounds.

Multifunctional hydrogels for chronic wounds repairing
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2023 Because of their tissue‐like mechanical performances, high biocompatibility, and adjustable functionality, hydrogels have become increasingly attractive materials for promoting wound healing.

Chronic Wound Biofilm Model [PDF]
Advances in Wound Care, 2015 Significance: Multispecies microbial biofilms may contribute to wound chronicity by derailing the inherent reparative process of the host tissue. In the biofilm form, bacteria are encased within an extracellular polymeric substance and become recalcitrant to antimicrobials and host defenses.

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2015 Introduction: Chronic wounds represent a major health burden worldwide. It has been hypothesized that the polymicrobial nature of wounds plays an important role in their healing process. Thus, a review of pathogen frequency and susceptibility patterns in

Dialkylcarbamoyl chloride (DACC)-coated dressings in the management and prevention of wound infection: A systematic review [PDF]
, 2017 Objective: Dialkylcarbomoyl chloride (DACC)-coated dressings (Leukomed Sorbact and Cutimed Sorbact) irreversibly bind bacteria at the wound surface that are then removed when the dressing is changed.

Antiseptic pyolytics and warming wet compresses improve the prospect of healing chronic wounds
Exploration of Medicine, 2023 Infection and suppuration of chronic wounds reduce the effectiveness of their treatment with a course of antibiotics and antiseptics combined with frequently renewed dressings.
