Abstract

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