Wound is defined simply as the disruption of the cellular and anatomic continuity of a tissue. Wound may be produced by physical, chemical, thermal, microbial or immunological insult to the tissue. Attention should be directed towards discovering an agent, which will accelerate wound healing either when it is progressing normally,when it is suppressed by various agents like corticosteroids,anti neoplastics.or non- steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Medical treatment of wound includes administration of drugs either locally (topical) or systemically (oral or parenteral) in an attempt to aid wound repair.
