“…Fibrin sealants have been studied for the reattachment of extraocular muscles to reduce sclera perforation . Fibrin sealants are also used for wound healing in cases of thermal injuries, fractures, and dissections . These were also applied for effective healing of neurological surgical sites, corneal or conjunctival wound leaks .…”

Bioadhesives and glues are widely used as an adjunct to conventional methods employed in healing the post-surgical injuries and restoration of normal tissue functions. Protein-based bioadhesives have been used for a long time, and they are a more biocompatible alternative compared with synthetic adhesives. They offer advantages such as ease of application, reduction in surgery time, improved quality and strength of the seal, and effective sealing. Also, bioadhesives are being exploited in different fields like controlled and site-specific drug delivery systems, and in tissue engineering and regeneration. There are various marketed protein-based glues that are available in different forms. Thus, all in all, it is a patient compliant system, thereby increasing its recent popularity. This article provides insight into different types and sources of protein-based bioadhesives, their history of use, mechanism of adhesion. and various products that have been approved by the regulatory authorities for clinical use. It also includes information regarding the products in clinical trials and potential applications.

“…Secondary intention healing, artificial or allogenic dermis grafts, skin grafts, and flap surgery are the options most commonly employed. South Korean researchers have further developed methods of reconstruction, such as autologous dermis grafts and tissue‐engineered dermis grafts, which complement the shortcomings of existing skin graft procedures. South Korea is also particularly advanced in flap microsurgery, with much research on perforator flaps taking place …”

In spite of a period of intense economic, social, and political hardship following the Korean War, the Republic of Korea has made great strides in economic growth over the past half century, and also remarkable progress in the medical field. However, wound research has been slow to take off in South Korea. Meanwhile, as is the case in many countries in Western Europe and North America, South Korea is seeing a steady increase in its aged population. The growth in the geriatric population has in turn brought on more cases of chronic wounds. Though South Korea only began to recognize the importance of wound management in the early 2000s, it was fortunate enough to have sophisticated related industries, such as biotechnology and information technology, and brilliant, industrious, and eager wound researchers, contributing to rapid development of the field. The country has particular strengths in research for innovative cell-based treatments and products for managing wounds. Notwithstanding government policy ill-equipped to sufficiently support such advancement, better communication between experts and public officials will no doubt bring forth even more achievements in this very promising field. It is in this context that this article aims to summarize current wound management practices, research, training, product development, and government policies regarding wound management in South Korea as of the year 2017.
