AB Mother  Nature  has  been  able  to  repair  damaged  integuments  for  at  least  half  a  billion  years.  Scars  and  scabs  are  evident  in  the  fossil  record  since  the  beginning  of  terrestrial  life.1  So  why  has  there  been  an  explosion  of  interest  in  wound  care  since  the  last  World  War?  Quite  simply,  because  of  faster  and  better  healing.  Smugly  one-upping  Mother  Nature,  modern  dressings  are  an  entire  paradigm  shift  from  the  standard  approach  taken  since  time  immemorial.
