The effect of exogenous fibronectin on wound breaking strength.
Experimental wounds in rats were tested for breaking strength at 4, 7, 11, 14, and 21 days to determine whether incisions treated with homogenous fibronectin differed from control incisions. At 7, 11, 14, and 21 days after wounding, the fibronectin-treated incisions were significantly stronger than the control incisions.
