A Revolution in Healing - Tufts.edu
The science of wound healing goes back to earliest records of civilization. Clay tablets dating back to 2200 BC describe the “three healing gestures”—washing, making the plasters, and bandaging. Today, the basics of bandaging remain largely unchanged. Skin wounds—cuts, scrapes, punctures and burns—are protected with gauze, held in place by either a cloth wrap or adhesive tape, with the same pragmatic purpose of staunching bleeding and preventing infection.


The Benefits of Moist Wound Healing - Woundsource.com

Research has shown that moist wound healing is three to five times quicker than the healing of wounds that are allowed to dry out. British researcher George D. Winter described the benefits of moist wound healing in the 1960s.
