Polyethylene Surgical Drape Dressing for Split Thickness Skin Graft Donor Areas
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variety of dressings has been used for covering the split thickness skin graft donor areas. Some of these are alginates, collagen sheets, films and the most commonly used impregnat‐ ed tulle gras dressing. The chief goal of management of donor area is to achieve early epi‐ thelisation without infection. Minimum pain, easy availability and low cost of dressing are other desirable criteria. A controlled clinical trial was conducted to compare Vaseline im‐ pregnated gauze and Banana leaf dressing (BLD) (Fig 1) developed at the burn unit at LTM medical college and hospital in 1997. [1] The results showed BLD to be effective with signifi‐ cantly less pain and at much lower cost.
