In terms of funding, industry and private sponsors take a leading role both in reconstruction and aesthetics. Nonetheless, the majority of the evaluated studies were not financed by the private sector. In cases where the research was funded by private companies, the results were significantly in favour of the product. Aesthetics as a focus is currently more frequently funded by industry than reconstruction, burn, and hand surgery.
