Wound Care Presentation

Hey everyone,

For my anatomy and physiology class I have to do a presentation.

I brought up the idea of wound care to my professor and she said I could compare two medicines.

I was trying to research two possible medicines used to treat the same thing maybe? I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of wound care or any treatments they could suggest for me.

Thanks in advance!!

There's loads of literature about maggot therapy out there and I am fairly sure there are some good quality comparrative studies. Let me do a bit of digging around in work and I'll see if I can find the references.

(may take a while though they would be in my "hardly every use so chuck it in the bottom" drawer)
