    Area of Science:

    • Wound Healing Research
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Biomedical Science

    Background:

    • Wound repair is a complex biological process.
    • Numerous factors can impede effective wound healing in clinical settings.
    • Understanding these inhibitory factors is essential for therapeutic advancements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the scientific basis of factors that delay wound repair.
    • To discuss endogenous local and systemic factors affecting healing.
    • To examine exogenous agents and topical antimicrobials impacting wound repair.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of scientific basis for delayed wound repair.
    • Discussion of endogenous local factors (e.g., infection, hypoxia).
    • Analysis of endogenous systemic factors (e.g., nutritional deficiencies, aging).
    • Review of exogenous agents (e.g., glucocorticoids, antineoplastics).
    • Examination of topical antimicrobials and wound coverings.

    Main Results:

    • Local factors like bacterial infection, hypoxia, foreign bodies, and desiccation significantly delay healing.
    • Systemic factors including nutritional deficiencies, aging, coagulation disorders, and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes impair wound repair.
    • Exogenous agents such as glucocorticoids, antineoplastic agents, and anticoagulants can negatively affect healing mechanisms.
    • Topical antimicrobials vary in efficacy and impact on wound healing.
    • Current wound coverings and future directions in wound care are presented.

    Conclusions:

    • Delayed wound repair is multifactorial, involving local, systemic, and iatrogenic causes.
    • Identifying and mitigating these factors is key to optimizing clinical wound healing.
    • Further research into wound coverings and future care strategies is warranted.
