The moist healing theory proves that a moderately moist and airtight environment is conducive to wound healing. However, different moist dressings have different functions. We aim to evaluate the effects of moist dressings on wound healing after surgical suturing and identify superior moist dressings. Randomised controlled trials investigating the ...

Trauma, burns, and diabetes result in nonhealing wounds that can cause bone or tendon exposure, a significant health threat. The use of an artificial regeneration template combined with skin grafting as an alternative method to highly invasive flap surgery has been shown to be an effective way to cover full-thickness skin defects with bone or tendo...
