Full Description
Burn Wound Infections: Biomaterials, Healing Mechanisms, Dressing Techniques and Clinical Practice is a comprehensive resource that includes information about the use of different biomaterials and hydrogels for repairing infected wounds and their clinical outcomes. The book includes three parts - Part I: Burn wound infections: mechanisms, pathophysiology, and healing; Part II: Types of dressings used for infected burn wounds; and Part III: Regulatory Considerations and Commercialization of biomaterial/hydrogel based dressings for infected burn wound.
