A Comparison of Wound Healing Rate Following Treatment with Aftamed and Chlorine Dioxide Gels in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
Figure 3
Histological section of the wound tissue on day 10 after surgery in diabetic rats. (a) The topical application of 0.2 mL of sterile distilled water resulted in a wide wound area (arrow). (b) The topical application of 0.2 mL of Intrasite gel resulted in a comparatively smaller wound enclosure than the control treatment did (arrow). (c) The topical application of 0.2 mL of chlorine dioxide gel resulted in a comparatively moderately sized wound enclosure relative to that of the control treatment (arrow). (d) The topical application of 0.2 mL of Aftamed gel resulted in a comparatively smaller wound enclosure than the control treatment did (arrow) (H & E stain 2×).
