Comparison of Wound Healing Efficiency Between Bacterial Cellulose Dry Membrane and Commercial Dressings.

ABSTRACT: The development of dressing materials mainly protects the wound, prevents infection, and assists in wound healing. Apart from the most common gauze on the market, different dressing materials can accelerate wound healing. Bacterial cellulose (BC) dressings have had many related studies and applications so far, and other natural or artificial compounds that are beneficial to tissue repair may also be added during the manufacturing process. This study compared the wound healing efficacies of BC dry membrane developed by our team, gauze, commercially available "Tegaderm^TM Hydrocolloid Dressing", and "AQUACEL^® EXTRA Hydrofiber Dressing". This study used rats as experimental animals and injured them by scalding. Moreover, Staphylococcus aureus was used to infect wou
