Introduction: General and local factors mediate healing. Management of wounds uses different procedures and admixtures, whose efficacy is sometimes difficult to evaluate. Objective: The purpose of this work was to design and create a model for the quantitative evaluation of superficial wound healing. To validate it through comparing the effect of physiologic saline solution irrigation versus the administration of bee honey. Setting: School of Medicine Material and methods: A 2 X 2 cm square milimetric scale was devised in the Paint program of Windows, ® to where digital photographs of wounds were overlaid through the Photo editor of Microsoft. ® Wound edges were lined up to those of the quadrangle scale in order to measure wound area at different intervals.
