title: Cellulose dressings: Critique II.
abstract: Wood reported, possibly for the first time, that gauze applied directly to a wound surface left behind fibres that could become incorporated into granulation tissue and interfere with normal healing. Unfortunately, his paper contains several inaccuracies and unsubstantiated statements and he also appears to have been confused about the structure and composition of the products to which he refers.
