However, the lack of shreds of evidence to substantiate his theory led clinicians to focus on dry wound therapies using absorptive gauzes. But, in the wake of recent advances in science and technology, the narrative has been forced to change where manufacturers are currently embracing what Galen had proposed. Moist wound healing has opened doors for several progressive treatment modalities that will surely change the wound care panorama in the years to come. The near future is poised to witness a perfect congruence of flexible electronics with medical science to device smart bandagesa thin, flexible prototype of the usual cloth fabric used. These cost-effective smart bandages will come with embedded heating elements that provide real-time patient data and will help physicians adjust the doses of antibiotics/painkillers in response to body pH and temperature levels. Again, with studies highlighting the pivotal role played by growth factors in wound repair, it is expected that the Recombinant human Platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF), fibroblast growth factor, Epidermal growth factors (EGF), among many, will be usedeither alone or in combinationto prevent microbial proliferation. Under the same token, it is anticipated that mass spectrometry-based methods will guide clinicians to a better understanding of the many upcoming wound healing therapies.When all things are considered, there is no doubt that wound care is on the fast track of evolution. Standing at the cusp of technology, there are a wide range of solution providers who offer the latest wound care solutions best suited for the next generation of business needs.
