    CLINITRON Therapy not only prevents the development of pressure sores but substantially enhances treatment of healing of wounds and skin grafts. It reduces skin contact pressure, offers prophylactic, protection against infection and cross-infection, and provides pain-free comfort. The unit eases the burdens of nursing-staff care without diminishing the humanistic aspects. CPR other procedures can be accomplished on the CLINITRON(R) Therapy unit without difficulty.

    Phases of Wound Repair

    Following injury, the integrity of the injured tissues must be reestablished. For example, in skin tissue, wound repair involves coordination among resident skin cells, blood mononuclear cells, extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines to complete the healing cascade.
    Formation of Blood Clot
    In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...

    Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

    Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own EpiSCs...
    Clot Retraction and Fibrinolysis01:16

    Clot Retraction and Fibrinolysis

    After a fibrin clot is formed, the next step is clot retraction, a vital process facilitated by platelet contractile proteins, such as actin and myosin. These proteins pull the fibrin strands closer together and condense the clot. This action reduces the size of the clot, creating a smaller, denser structure that effectively seals off the damaged vessel. Clot retraction consolidates the clot and helps with wound healing by bringing the edges of the damaged blood vessel closer together.
