Effects of polymer gel and Aquacel dressings on wound healing. Histological evaluation of wounds treated once after wounding with sized Aquacel, Aquacel-Ag or polymer gel. Scoring is as described in the other figure legends. Shown are evaluation by a blinded pathologist for (A) collagen content, (B) bundling into mature fibers, (C) tensile strength, and (D) epidermal maturation. Shown are mean ± s.e.m., n = 3 each in triplicate evaluation. *P < 0.05 comparing the polymer gel to Aquacel-Ag or Aquacel; the differences in (D) are not significant.
