Current estimations of disease burden indicate that 2% of the United States (US) population is affected by chronic wounds. Many interventions have been proposed to address the burden of chronic wounds, including hydrocolloid gels, collagen, anti-fungal therapy, and non-adhesive bandages. There remains significant debate over which wound care products are truly efficacious. In recent years, a growing body of evidence has emerged which promotes topical timolol as effective treatment of chronic wounds. To date, however, there exists limited consensus on Timolol's efficacy and safety in this setting. This project seeks to identify and systematically review the current literature on the use of timolol in the treatment of chronic wounds.}, number = {IR}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/bc386k002}, recid = {9211}, address = {2021}, }
