Healing pattern of wounded skin over a time period. At each time point, images of surgical wound skin of rats of each group were taken, and the morphological features were evaluated. (A) Macro-observation of experimental wound healing at various times post-surgery. (B) The ratio of wound area (%) to initial area on day 1 was measured over time. The wound size was measured in triplicate in each test. Five or six wounds were assayed in triplicate using the wound area analysis. Data are reported as the mean ± SD. *P<0.05 relative to the Vehicle-treated group; #P<0.05 relative to the level of the MFLB group, §P<0.05 relative to the LoBSLB group. BSLB, liquid bandage; MFLB, medifoam liquid bandage; LoBSLB, low concentration BSLB; HiBSLB, high concentration BSLB.
