Not only does oxygen play an essential role in each stage of the wound healing process. It also helps to increases host resistance to infection. Any impairment to the oxygen supply can therefore delay healing. This article explores the affects of oxygen on the wound cells and tissue, and explains how an adequate supply is required for granulation tissue formation and epithelialisation to occur.
