Moist wound healing

H Chang et al. Dermatol Nurs. 1996 Jun.

Abstract

The optimum wound environment to enhance wound healing is a balance of nutrition, hypoxia, and removal of debris in an occlusive moist environment. With increasing knowledge of the healing process and the variety of dressings available, the end result of any wound management will be an expedited wound healing with maximum patient comfort.
