2. Surgical suture - Wikipedia

   Jenkin's rule was the first research result in this area, showing that the then-typical use of a suture-length to wound-length ratio of 2:1 increased the risk of a burst wound, and suggesting a SL:WL ratio of 4:1 or more in abdominal wounds. [19] [20] A later study suggested 6:1 as the optimal ratio in abdominal closure. [21]

3. Dressing (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressing_(medicine)

   A dressing or compress [1] is a piece of material such as a pad applied to a wound to promote healing and protect the wound from further harm. A dressing is designed to be in direct contact with the wound, as distinguished from a bandage, which is most often used to hold a dressing in place. Modern dressings are sterile.

4. Inadine - Wikipedia

   Left on too long, it can engage with wound tissue and wound secretions when drier, and be more difficult to remove. [4] This tendency to adhere to wounds is usually resolved by soaking the wound for a few minutes with normal saline. [3] Inadine is inexpensive, well tolerated and is a widely available dressing produced by Systagenix. [2] [3]

5. Pressure ulcer - Wikipedia

   The wound dressing should be selected based on the wound and condition of the surrounding skin. There are some studies that indicate that antimicrobial products that stimulate the epithelization may improve the wound healing. [78] However, there is no international consensus on the selection of the dressings for pressure ulcers. [79]

6. Chronic wound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_wound

   Research into hormones and wound healing has shown estrogen to speed wound healing in elderly humans and in animals that have had their ovaries removed, possibly by preventing excess neutrophils from entering the wound and releasing elastase. [26] Thus the use of estrogen is a future possibility for treating chronic wounds.
