Abstract
Summary
The rate of passage of oxygen through isolated sheets of human stratum corneum was measured in vitro and compared to other materials. There was a significant passage of oxygen through the stratum corneum, comparable to that through cellulose acetate, but less than through teflon, and more than through Kodar or Al-foil. Some limitations and therapeutic applications of these experiments are discussed.
