Wound bed preparation using nonsurgical methods: A prospective comparative study of honey versus unripe papaya ().

Background: The rapidity of wound bed preparation is determined in part by the type of dressing agent employed. The extension phase in which the wound is characterized by the presence of sloughs and eschar and microbial invasion could be managed nonsurgically.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the rapidity of wound bed preparation using unripe papaya versus honey.
