Abstract

Victorious wound care involves optimizing patient’s local and systemic conditions in combination with an ideal wound healing environment. Numerous products have been developed till date to influence this wound environment and to provide a pathogen-free, protected, and an area free from moisture for healing to occur in acceleration. Many novel products are being introduced to replace or augment various substrates in the wound healing cascade. With the abundance of available products, the goal is to find the most appropriate modality or combination of modalities to optimize healing. This review looks at the most modern applications of silver in microbial prophylaxis and treatment, including issues involving resistance and side effects, the latest uses of negative pressure wound devices, advanced dressings and skin substitutes, biologic wound products including growth factor applications, and hyperbaric oxygen as an adjunct in wound healing.

 

Keywords: Wound healing, silver, negative pressure wound devices, hyperbaric oxygen, skin substitutes
