The hemolysis test, while common in general toxicity assessment, holds limited value for wound dressings due to their minimal blood contact. Its inclusion alongside other toxicity tests doesn't fully evaluate biocompatibility. ISO10993 recommends more relevant tests like skin sensitivity and itching to assess actual wound site compatibility. Also, it is not possible to assess the hemocompatibility of a compound solely based on the hemolysis test, as stated in the conclusion section.
