| Abstract | ||||
| Aim: To demonstrate the effectiveness of the use of submucosal dressing for prompt healing of the wounds. Material and Method: An experimental study was carried out by application of chicken small intestinal submucosa for dressing of clean surgical wounds carried out in the rabbits and compare it with similar wounds dressed by routine sterile surgical gauze. Results: The two types of wounds were assessed clinically through necked eye observation and histologically through microscopical examination that shown a great evidence of proper healing in the wounds that were dressed by small intestinal submucosal dressing. Conclusion: The uses of small intestinal submucosa as a biological dressing prompt healing of the surgical wound proved by clinical and histological evidences. | ||||
