Abstract

Low-frequency ultrasound has shown promising therapeutic outcomes for different wounds. The main advantage of applying ultrasound in the treatment of wounds is that it penetrates deeply into the wound bed, promoting wound healing in a painless way and mainly with no harmful effects. In addition to antimicrobial effects, triggering wound healing physiological mechanisms are among the mechanisms of action of US in wound healing.
