Wound closure under the influence of DC field

Abstract

A possible mechanism of wound closure by direct current (DC) field is studied. DC stimulation reduces the surface area of a wound more rapidly in comparison to the other stimulations (Reger et al. 1999). It orients new collagen formation even in the absence of neural influences. Such type of stimulation enhances the tissue perfusion in the early phase of healing more significantly.
