1993 Matrix metallopro teinases MMPs play an essential role in tissue repair and remodelling in normal wound healing However their levels are elevated in chronic wounds which can prolong the inflammatory phase of wound healing Okan et al 2007 Prot. The 64257lm in contact with the wound surface is perforated to allow uptake of the wound 64258uid by the absorbent acrylic pad The top 64257lm backing is not perforated The nonperforated 64257lm backing is moisture vapor permeable but impermeable to Lovett J., Roberts S., Stephenson C.. Introduction. : Fluid controlling capabilities of advanced wound dressings are of paramount importance when it comes to managing wound exudate. Poor wound exudate handling by a wound dressing can lead to fluid leakage from around the dressing or strike through, both of which can lead to soiled clothing and malodour; exacerbating patient social isolation. .

The term peptic ulcer is used to describe any localised erosion of the mucosal lining of those portions of the alimentary tract that come in contact with gastric juice.
