Abstract
Wound care products and applications continue to evolve. This can be challenging for both the seasoned clinician as well as those new to the field of wound management. Keeping current with trends and scientific literature can also be a difficult task due to increased demands for productivity while having less access to resources and time. This article will provide an overview of some new and emerging products available for wound management. A comprehensive review is beyond the scope of this article; however, unique products and features will be discussed to provide insight into emerging options available to manage complex wounds. For the purposes of this review, we will focus on some of the new and emerging dressing and topical technologies such as mircocurrent, exudate transfer, bacterial binding, protease modulation, amniotic membranes, cellular and tissue-based products (CTPs), and emerging interventions under development.
