Abstract

Wound is a common problem following burn, trauma or infection. Decreased blood supply to the wound bed is an important cause for non-healing of wound. These chronic wounds are often difficult to manage. Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) improves blood flow by action on vascular smooth muscle to decrease vasoconstriction. In this article, we share our experience of using Botox for wound bed preparation in non-healing ulcer
