Abstract

Ulcer is a discontinuity in the skin. It may be acute or chronic. Chronic wounds are associated with difficulty in healing and prolonged morbidity for the patient. There are different methods of wound coverage including flap coverage, skin grafting, temporary substitutes for dressing etc. In this article we have used SEBG for healing of wound and have found it to be useful.
