The four primary phases of wound healing
What are hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation?
Derived from a different species.
What is Xenograft?
This technology provides a wound barrier to help support and facilitate the wound healing cascade.
Xeroform, Adaptic and Mepitel
What is a non-adherent?
Medical school and a 3-year residency program.
What is a podiatrist?
These types of cells are responsible for collagen synthesis during proliferation.
What are fibroblasts?
Grafts taken from the same species, typically a donor.
What is allograft?
This technology contains an intact epithelial basement membrane with the presence of collagen 7.
What is UBM?
Bacitracin and Wound/Hydro Gel
What are topical wound care agents?
4 years of medical school, typically 3-5 years of residency and 2-3 year fellowship.
What is a plastic surgeon?
These cells remove debris and bacteria, as well as release growth factors.
What are macrophages?
Grafts taken from one individual and placed on the same individual, leaving a donor site.
What is autograft?
UBM Provides an environment where the body is more likely to exhibit a higher ratio of ____ to ____ macrophages.
What is M2 to M1?
The application of sub-atmospheric pressure to a wound, which enhances blood flow, removes exudate and debris, and stimulates granulation tissue formation
What is NPWT?
This is a method for estimating the total body surface area (TBSA) affected by burns, dividing the body into sections, each representing approximately 9% (or multiples thereof) of the total body surface area.
What is the Rule of Nines?
The formation of new blood vessels.
What is angiogenesis?
Man-made materials designed to mimic the properties of biological tissue.
What is synthetic?
Chondroiton-6-sulfate inhibits platelet aggregation, thereby minimizing inflammation and scar tissue formation.
What is engineered collagen?
This type of rolled gauze dressing that is often used for wounds that require packing or when securing other dressings in place. It is made from a lightweight, porous material that allows for ventilation and drainage.
What is Kerlix?
Infections, neuropathy, and peripheral artery disease, which can lead to delayed healing, increased risk of amputation, and complications in wound management
What are the common complications podiatrists encounter with diabetic foot ulcers?
This type of tissue forms the foundation for new tissue during the healing process.
What is granulation tissue?
This type of material carries a 361 HCT/P FDA classification.
The design parameters for Engineered Collagen.
What is Pore Size, Pore Volume (Porosity), Cross-Linking, and Matrix Degradation Rate?
This type of dressing is used primarily in orthopedic care to protect skin under casts.
What is cast padding?
A conceptual framework used in surgery to guide clinicians in selecting the most appropriate surgical techniques for wound closure and tissue reconstruction based on the complexity and extent of tissue loss.
What is the Reconstructive Ladder?
