Advances in wound care have introduced various modern techniques, such as:
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT): Uses a vacuum dressing to promote wound healing by drawing out fluid and increasing blood flow. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room to enhance oxygen delivery to tissues. Bioengineered Skin Substitutes: Artificial skin products that can cover and protect wounds while promoting healing. Growth Factors and Cytokines: Application of biochemical agents to stimulate cell growth and tissue repair. Advanced Dressings: Use of specialized dressings, such as hydrocolloids, hydrogels, and alginates, to maintain a moist wound environment.
