Abstract

Depending on the healing time, skin wounds can be divided into two classes: acute and chronic wounds [1, 2]. Acute wounds are characterized by broken or punctured skin layers and usually heal over a short time frame. Acute wounds can be further divided into different types based upon their causes, for example: surgical incision, thermal, abrasion, laceration, gunshot wounds, etc. In addition to epidermal cells, acute wounds may involve a part or the full thickness of the dermal layer. Chronic wounds, which have become an epidemic, take a long time to heal as they are mostly associated with diseases like diabetes and obesity.
