This paper describes the available production technology of hydrogel dressings. Their practical application were tested--solid and semi-liquid--in the daily practice of medical emergency. An analysis was made of risk associated with the application of these type of dressings, and of the ability to apply them in individual prophylactic sets. The aim of the study was to compare commercially avail...

• Introduction • What are alginate dressings? • How do alginate dressings work? • What are the main indications for alginate dressings? • Are there any side effects of alginate dressings? • Is there any difference between brands? • Is alginate an effective haemostat? • Does zinc make a difference in haemostatic performance? • What is the role of alginate dressings in split skin graft donor site...

Irrigation solutions and intracanal medicaments are used within the root canal to clean and aid in disinfecting the dentinal walls. Although these materials are intended to be contained within the root canal, they invariably contact the periapical tissues, either through inadvertent extrusion through the apex or leaching. This paper is a review on the methodology involved in biocompatibility te...

OBJECTIVE Pressure Ulcers (PUs) often is an indication of quality of nursing care as it remains as severe manifestation of the integrity of impaired skin. Our study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of hydrocolloid dressings and ceramide dressings in healing of PU. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study was done at Chinese hospital between Feb 2014-November 2014. 72 study group patients and 25 c...

AIM To estimate the cost-effectiveness of silver dressings using a health economic model based on time-to-wound-healing in hard-to-heal chronic venous leg ulcers (VLUs). BACKGROUND Chronic venous ulceration affects 1-3% of the adult population and typically has a protracted course of healing, resulting in considerable costs to the healthcare system. The pathogenesis of VLUs includes excessive...

BACKGROUND Chlorhexidine gluconate-impregnated dressings have become widely adopted as a means to reduce the risk for catheter-associated bloodstream infections. These dressings release antiseptic under occlusion onto the skin surrounding catheter insertion sites. Although chlorhexidine gluconate is a known cause of contact dermatitis, the phenotypic range of this adverse effect of chlorhexidin...

Beside conventional therapy, the management of necrotizing cellulitis and fasciitis is based on non-pharmacological treatments. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and dressings are the most frequently used techniques. The usefulness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is clearly demonstrated in experimental studies while the efficacy of this technique is poorly assessed in clinical practice. The French consens...
