Abstract
The effect of Aquaphor and petrolatum ointments on the healing of open granulating wounds in rats was studied. Wounds were observed up to ten days after wounding. The rate of wound contraction and epithelization was measured. Aquaphor- and petrolatum-treated wounds were significantly smaller by day ten. The rate of epithelization was retarded in treated wounds observed six days after wounding, but returned to normal by day ten.
