Recently, we reported that some wound dressings caused complement activation at the interface of wound dressing and blood. Since complement activation is associated with impaired wound healing, we investigated whether this activation of the complement cascade at the interface of wound dressings and blood does impair reepithelialization in a scratch wound healing assay. Although some samples showed higher levels of the complement activation marker SC5b‐9 in our study, reepithelialization of the samples did not significantly differ from the control group. Further studies have to clarify if complement activation at the interface of wound dressings and blood plays a relevant role in the healing process especially in long‐time experiments.
