H&E-stained histological sections on POD 3, 7 and 10 (Magnification: 100x). From POD 3 (A+B), via POD7 (C +D) to POD 10 (E+F), semi-occluded wounds showed a more matured and flattened epithelium with less epithelial and especially dermal cellularity count as opposed to non-occluded wounds. This indicates accelerating properties of semi-occlusive dressings on the wound healing process and specifically on re-epithelialization along with scar ameliorating effects via reduced dermal proliferation.
