Some mention of battle dressings? Clotting aids? Shrimp shell dressings?

Needed is Current practices

Containing a discussion of the current state of the art (e.g., shift to moist wound treatment); treatment types available; and best practices; all without brand-advertising.

Removed ad copy for Xeroform from Kendall Healthcare was this:

Current products

Xeroform is a wound treatment product from Kendall Healthcare. It is a gauze bathed in petroleum jelly with 3% bismuth tribromophenate, an antibiotic salt. It is used when regular bandaging might adhere to an open wound--Xeroform does not, it clings but will pull away easily. It is indicated for use on chest tubes, new circumcisions, skin graft donor sites, and other wounds.

Wound treatment expert help please. Stub level article in need of improvement

Wound treatment expert help please. Stub level article in need of improvement.

So very much is missing.

What about the adoption and later abandonment of cauterization?

Wine as an antiseptic?

Gangrene, and amputations as an attempt to avoid?

Wolf-licking or maggot treatment for gangrene?

The "scabs are good, keep it dry" doctrine giving way to the "moist works much better in controlled studies" insight?

Much much more. Expert(s), please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocdnctx (talk • contribs) 01:04, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

combine this article with WP art. "Dressing (medical)"?

The articles both cover similar but complementary portions of the history and development of current modern moist wound bandaging, both mentioning Winter's breakthrough work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocdnctx (talk • contribs) 14:53, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Healing wounds with squirrel brains?

If anyone is watching the show Turn on AMC, about the US Revolutionary War, you might recall them mentioning using squirrel brains as a Native American method of healing wounds. I cannot find this corroborated anywhere on the Internet, and I am sure no such thing is mentioned in this article for good reason. Have any of you ever heard of such a technique?
