Reduced reactive oxygen species in the wound [89] |
Slow granulation tissue deposition [90] |
Ability to absorb wound exudates [59] |
High possibility for pathogenic organism to harbor [90] |
Accelerates wound healing/promote rapid healing [91] |

Shortened course of treatment [94] |
Often requires extra care and frequent changing [95] |
Improvement in wound reduction area [96] |
|
Rapid granulation tissue formation [90] |
|
Improved re-epithelisation and GF concentration [88] |
|
Absence/reduced bacterial invasion at the wound site [97] |
