Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare early hydrophilic polyurethane (EHP) foam dressing and highly hydrophilic polyurethane (HHP) foam dressing effects on wound healing in diabetic patients.
- Conducted with 20 diabetic patients who had skin graft donor sites, results showed that healing was significantly faster with HHP dressings (17.2 days) compared to EHP dressings (19.6 days).
- No adverse effects were reported for either dressing, suggesting HHP foam could be more effective for promoting faster healing in diabetic skin graft donor sites.
Background: The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap has become a predominant option in the field of reconstruction. However, some difficulties in harvesting flap exist due to the anatomical variability of the perforators. Reports have provided solutions for unreliable perforators.

However, the effects have generally not been very dramatic. Recently, human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hUCB-MSCs) have been commercialised for cartilage repair as a first cell therapy product using allogeneic stem cells.
