Dressing conformability and silver- containing wound dressings
Background: All wounds have unique and irregular topographies, including cavities where fluids and bacteria may collect and increase the risk of wound infection. Aims: To qualitatively and quantitatively investigate the relationship between the physical structure of antiseptic wound dressings and their ability to manage bioburden in models that simulate clinical conditions. Methods: In vitro mo...
متن کاملAntibiofilm Efficacy of DispersinB® Wound Spray Used in Combination with a Silver Wound Dressing
Chronic wounds including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous leg ulcers are a worldwide health problem. As the traditional methods of treatment have proven ineffective against chronic wounds involving biofilms, there is an unmet clinical need for developing products with an antibiofilm component that inhibits and/or disrupts biofilms and thus make the biofilm-embedded bacteria mor...
متن کاملWound Management and Dressing Selection
A holistic approach brings about a relationship between the patient, the wound, and the treatment (Flanagan, 1997). Accurate wound assessment depends on an understanding of several factors (Table 1). Other important aspects include measurement and documentation of wound healing rates and specialised areas such as leg ulcer assessment and the risk Clare Morris is Tissue Viability Advisor, North ...
متن کاملSemi-permanent skin staining associated with silver-coated wound dressing Acticoat.
A 17-year-old male with burns to 8% of his total body surface area was treated for 10 days with Acticoat(®), a nanocrystalline silver dressing. The burns, which were on his back and shoulder, healed without infection. However, a skin discoloration in the wound area and the adjacent uninjured skin appeared in the first days of treatment. The staining remained visible even after the treatment had...
متن کاملAlginate Hydrogels Coated with Chitosan for Wound Dressing
In this work, a coating of chitosan onto alginate hydrogels was realized using the water-soluble hydrochloride form of chitosan (CH-Cl), with the dual purpose of imparting antibacterial activity and delaying the release of hydrophilic molecules from the alginate matrix. Alginate hydrogels with different calcium contents were prepared by the internal setting method and coated by immersion in a C...
