Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers reviewed the application of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and haemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carriers for chronic wound therapy, detailing their oxygen delivery strategies and synergistic biological effects.

What They Found

They found that oxygen carriers like perfluorocarbons and haemoglobin exhibit high-efficiency oxygen delivery, excellent biocompatibility, and cost-effectiveness, holding significant potential for clinical applications. The review systematically elaborated on diversified oxygen delivery strategies and quantitatively compared their capabilities, highlighting multiple synergistic biological effects.

Canadian Relevance
