Improved wound healing

de la Brassinne, Thirion L, Horvat LI. A novel method of comparing the healing properties of two hydrogels in chronic leg ulcers.  J.Eur.Acad.Dermatol.Venereol. 2006;20(2):131-5.

In a comparison of the healing properties of Flaminal^® and Intrasite^® Gel, both surface area and wound volume decreased over time, with wound volume being the first parameter to change.  Wound volume reduction was visible after just 7 days of treatment with Flaminal^®, whilst wound surface reduction was noted after 14 days of treatment.  Differences in wound volume reduction between Flaminal^® and Intrasite^® Gel was significantly greater with Flaminal^® and detected as early as day 7.  Differences in surface reduction were also significantly greater with Flaminal^® and this difference was clearly apparent at day 28 with a reduction in surface area of 63% in the Flaminal^® group compared with 19% in the Intrasite^® group.
