Effect of Air Exposure and Occlusion on Experimental Human Skin Wounds
Abstract
Hinman and Maibach have shown that in human skin wounds, as in pig's skin, epidermal regeneration is faster when the wound surface is moist than when exposed to the air and dry. There is little doubt that this is due to the way the scab is formed on an exposed wound surface.
