At-Risk Patient: Surgical Site Infections - Woundsource.com
Skin is a natural barrier against infection. Despite the provision of precautions and protocols to prevent infection, any surgery or procedure that breaches the skin can lead to an infection. Infections that occur on the part of the body where the surgical procedure took place are called surgical site infections (SSIs). The chances of a patient developing an SSI post-surgery are about 1% to 3%.

Sustained oxygenation accelerates diabetic wound healing by promoting epithelialization and angiogenesis and decreasing inflammation - Sciencemag.org
Article by Ya Guan, Hong Niu, Zhongting Liu, Yu Dang, Jie Shen, Mohamed Zayed, Liang Ma and Jianjun Guan (St. Louis, USA - Science Advances).
