Journal Title: Indian journal of applied basic medical sciences - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 27
Abstract
Context: A wide range of dressings and antibacterial solutions are available. Aims: The objective of the study was to evaluate the outcome of post operative wounds after use of tincture benzoin seal and assess its efficacy, safety and cost effectiveness. The results were compared with the conventional povidone iodine adhesive dressing. Settings and Design: A prospective study was conducted to evaluate the role of tincture benzoin seal dressing in post-operative wound care. Methods and Material: Fifty patients were randomly selected for tincture benzoin dressing and fifty patients were given conventional gauze dressing post operatively. Statistical analysis used: Data was analysed and standard error of difference of proportion was calculated to assess difference in wound infection and skin reaction. Results: Statistically no difference was found in the incidence of wound infection between the both groups (S.E. = 0.45, p = 0.05, C.I. = 1.96). Patients with conventional gauze adhesive dressing had more incidence of skin reaction. Conclusions: Tincture benzoin seal is as effective as conventional dressings for post operative wound cover. It is a safe and cost effective alternative dressing and has excellent patient tolerance.
