“…Wounds were created surgically,1, 11, 14, 18, 19, 21, 25–28, 30, 38–40 with a punch biopsy,3, 11–13, 15, 20, 22, 24, 29, 35, 37 or thermally; these were either contact burns,14, 23, 33, 34, 36 scald burns,17, 31, 36 or radiation‐induced burns 12. The size of the wounds also varied, from 3–8 mm3, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 24, 29, 35, 37 to 5–6 cm 11, 14, 16, 18, 25–27. If the closure of dermal wounds in rodents is to a large extent governed by rapid contraction,41 caution has to be taken with respect to the size of the dermal defect.…”
