The effect of flaxseed extract on skin elasticity of the healing wound in rabbits

Introduction: Management of disturbed wounds, large skin defects and the areas where skin tension precludes wound closure is of high clinical importance. Healing in wounds occurs through epithelization and contraction processes (second-intentions healing) that may result in certain undesirable com...
