After 24 hours, fibroblasts, which are critical to healing, reduced the wound area from 69 percent to 11 percent. Untreated artificial wounds reduced in size from 69 percent to 33 percent after 24 ...

Contrarily, the developed electronic suture adds the function of continuously monitoring the inflammatory condition of a wound, which makes it possible to take care of wounds more effectively in ...

A team at McGill University has come up with novel kind of suture that is based on human tendons, which enables it to not only heal wounds more effectively, but possibly even monitor their ...

Silicone-based adhesive strips applied perpendicular to the wound line after suture removal can continue supporting the healing tissue for several weeks, reducing tension on the newly formed scar.

When you're cringing in a painful moment trying to discern whether sutures may be necessary, here an ER doctor helps you make the call.

Instead of sutures, a self-healing antibacterial polymer; instead of examining the wound, integrated smart monitoring.

DENVER — Wounds heal better when closed with the purse-string suture than when not sutured, a new study shows. However, although there was modest improvement in speed of healing and a reduction ...

Second-intention healing may be as good as sutures for 4 mm punch biopsy sites but not for 8 mm sites. Patients with the larger size lesions report more pain and less satisfaction with gel foam.
