Chitosan Dermal Substitute and Chitosan Skin Substitute Contribute to Accelerated Full-Thickness Wound Healing in Irradiated Rats
Figure 8
Macroscopic wound healing analysis in the irradiated (a) and nonirradiated wounds (b). On day 7, the wounds enlarged compared to day 0 due to inflammation. On day 14, the biomaterials adsorbed in (b) and the scars were clearly seen. Conversely, the biomaterials remain incorporated in (a). On day 21, a few wounds showed incomplete epithelialization presented with scab. The arrows showed the wound area. Scale bar 1 cm. (S: Scab).
