Effect of Zinc Sulfate on Wound Healing. An Experimental Study
Summary
(1) The dog, an easily available and cheap animal, has been utilised for conducting experiments on wound healing. Methods to prevent licking of the wound have been described.
(2) Zinc sulfate initiates healing during the ‘lag period’, accelerates the healing process and shortens the total time required for healing of granulating wound.
(3) The healthier granulation tissue and cleaner exudate was present in the wounds of animals fed on additional zinc sulfate.
(4) No significant toxic effects were observed after the systemic administration of zinc sulfate.
The systemic use of zinc sulfate appears to be promising for acceleration of healing process in healthy animals and needs further clinical trials.
