Wound healing Tensile properties

Parameters that can be related to skin quality are, but not limited to, its flexibility (modulus), tensile, tear, and shear strength, and skin thickness. These are measurable physical properties. In healthy individuals the tensile strength of healed skin is on the order of 70% the original value prior to the wound. With topical use of Vitamin A derivatives, this can increase due to skin s thickening response to these compounds. Emollients can improve flexibility. This is a field that has been studied for many years by the cosmetics industry. Their discoveries certainly have merit relative to improving the mechanical properties of healed skin and should be studied further in this light. [Pg.62]
