How silicone wound contact layers promote healing and patient comfort

چکیده
Primary wound contact layer dressings play a vital part in wound management, as they both absorb light volumes of wound fluid and help to remove excess exudate (Wound Union of Wound Healing Societies [WUWHS], 2007), hence protecting the wound bed. They tend to be used in the early stages of healing to promote the growth of granulation and epithelial tissue (Benbow, 2002). As they are thin, non-adherent, inert dressings, they can be used on wounds with fragile periwound skin, which are often found in the elderly (Best Practice Statement, 2012).
