MedStar author(s):

Name of journal: Diabetes/metabolism research and reviewsAbstract: With the growing demand for the specialized care of wounds, there is an ever expanding abundance of wound care modalities available. It is difficult to identify which products or devices enhance wound healing, and thus, a critical and continual look at new advances is necessary. The goal of any wound regimen should be to optimize wound healing by combining basic wound care modalities including debridement, off-loading, and infection control with the addition of advanced therapies when necessary. This review takes a closer look at current uses of negative pressure wound therapy, bioengineered alternative tissues, and amniotic membrane products. While robust literature may be lacking, current wound care advances are showing great promise in wound healing.Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.All authors: Garwood CS, Steinberg JSFiscal year: 2016Digital Object Identifier:
