Antimicrobial Dressings for Improving Wound Healing
@inproceedings{Sarheed2016AntimicrobialDF, title={Antimicrobial Dressings for Improving Wound Healing}, author={Omar Sarheed and Asif Ahmed and Douha Shouqair and Joshua Siaw Boateng}, year={2016} }
Wound healing occurs by a series of interrelated molecular events which work together to restore tissue integrity and cellular function. These physiological events occur smoothly in normal healthy individual and/or under normal conditions. However, in certain cases, these molecular events are retarded resulting in hard-to-heal or chronic wounds arising from several factors such as poor venous return, underlying physiological or metabolic conditions such as diabetes as well as external factors…
