Abstract
An excisional wound model in the Hooded Lister rat is described. The m ethods used to inflict, measure and characterise the process of wound contraction are comprehensively discussed. The model is shown to be re liable, reproducible and capable of detecting the effect of systemical ly administered prednisolone.
