Cost-Effectiveness of Electrical Stimulation Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Wounds: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis and Economic Analysis Open
Hard-to-heal wounds are a major burden to healthcare systems. Electrical stimulation therapy (EST) is known to improve clinical outcomes, but cost-effectiveness analysis is lacking. The aim was to explore the cost-effectiveness of EST with…

Is Deficiency in the Electrical Current of Injury a Barrier to Healing in Hard-to-Heal Wounds? A Systematic Review with Implications for the TIMERS Paradigm Open
Objectives: Endogenous bioelectric signaling (including transepidermal potential [TEP] and the current of injury) plays a fundamental role in normal wound repair. Despite this, commonly used wound management frameworks do not consid…

Enhanced exploration of the mode of action of a five-layer foam dressing: critical properties to support wound healing Open
Objective: The aim of this in vitro experimental series was to explore the mode of action of a hydrocellular polyurethane foam dressing (HPFD) and how its advanced features support beneficial interactions with the wound bed to address comm…

A retrospective review of the use of a nanocrystalline silver dressing in the management of open chronic wounds in the community Open
As part of an infection management protocol, antimicrobial dressings offer an appropriate, cost‐effective choice for the management of localised bioburden in chronic wounds. The choice of antimicrobial can impact significantly not only on …

Efficacy of topical cadexomer iodine treatment in chronic wounds: Systematic review and meta‐analysis of comparative clinical trials Open
The aim of this study was to summarise the clinical evidence supporting almost 40 years of topical cadexomer iodine (CIOD) use in wound bed preparation by removing barriers to healing such as exudate, slough, bioburden, and infection and a…

Cadexomer iodine effectively reduces bacterial biofilm in porcine wounds ex vivo and in vivo Open
Biofilms are prevalent in non‐healing chronic wounds and implicated in delayed healing. Tolerance to antimicrobial treatments and the host's immune system leave clinicians with limited interventions against biofilm populations. It is there…

Appropriate use of dressings containing nanocrystalline silver to support antimicrobial stewardship in wounds Open
Antimicrobial resistance is an ever‐increasing global concern, with the era of untreatable infection becoming a reality. Wound care is no exception, with increasing issues of antibiotic‐resistant infections across different wound types and…
