A Comparative Study of Foam Dressings And Conventional Gauze Dressings In The Management Of Chronic Non-Healing Ulcers
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Management of chronic ulcers is a considerable medical burden associated with large expenditures. Out of several types of wound dressings that have been developed, effectiveness of various types of wound dressings is limited. In this scenario the ideal and cost effective one needs to be selected. Chronic ulcers most commonly we come across are venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores and other complex mixed ulcers. Selecting an appropriate dressing plays a vital role in promoting and maintaining an environment that is conducive to healing. Conventional dressings means saline gauze, paraffin gauze dressing. Foam dressing is done with a semipermeable polyurethane foam.
