Effect of Gravity on wounds?

There has been little or no research into this.

Astronauts are not sent into space if they have wounds.

And there is no place anywhere, where higher than 1 earth gravity can be experienced for more than a few minutes.

Note that :

When you do have a wound,

the "prescription" is to elevate the wounded part.

That is to reduce blood flow to the area.

Thus a wounded arm is put in a sling, or otherwise elevated

For a leg wound, the whole leg is elevated -- necessitating confinement to bed.

I would be very surprised. The body evolved to adapt to the earth specific gravity. I'm no medical specialist but I imagine that higher gravity would affect blood pressure and maybe send too much blood to the wound ?

The old if a little is good then more is better logic. No, increased gravity beyond 1g would be more likely to slow down healing but up to a limit, bones would develop to be stronger.

Where do you think we'll find higher gravity to test this thesis? I suppose you could put a wounded person into a centrifuge, but I don't know of any facility that is set up to do anything like this. Have you heard of some place?
