To dress or not to dress surgical wounds? Patients' attitudes to wound care after major abdominal operations.

OBJECTIVE: To find out what patients' attitudes were to wound care after abdominal operations to ensure that patients' own views were not violated by introducing a new method of wound care. DESIGN: Randomised study. SETTING: University hospital, Sweden. PATIENTS: 68 consecutive patients operated for benign gastrointestinal disease. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomised to have their abdominal wounds dressed or exposed. On their last day in hospital their attitudes were assessed by visual analogue score and questionnaire. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Attitudes to wound care. RESULTS: There were no differences between the two groups in any of the variables studied. The visual analogue scores for postoperative pain were higher than had been anticipated. CONCLUSION: Most patients do not mind whether their wounds are covered with a dressing or not after abdominal operations.

Studies on dressings for mucosa of the oral cavity. Part 4: Influence of technology used in the preparation of dental xerogel dressings in the presence of acetone on their properties.

Adhesion of xerogel dressings prepared on Eudragit-E 100, methylcellulose and glycerol compositions in acetone/water mixtures, remains within the range of 317-967 g, after addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), it increases to 633-1200 g. Dissolution time of dressings in water amounts to 6 h, in artificial gastric juice to 3 h. Addition of PVP results in decrease of the elution rate, dissolution time amounts to 2.5 h. The Kunitz protease inhibitor semi-liberation times amount to 3.3-7.6 h.

The physical effects of an adhesive dressing top layer on burn wound dressings.

Three hydrogels were assessed in respect of water-vapour transmission and conformability. These materials were tested alone and as part of a bilaminate dressing which incorporates an adhesive top layer. The adhesive layer used in this study was a compliant adhesive bandage, marketed under the name Mefix. It was observed that this layer reduced the normally high water-vapour transmission rates of the hydrogels to much lower, clinically more acceptable, levels. Mechanically, the Mefix layer protects the underlying hydrogel, prevents tearing and puncturing but decreases conformability by elastic restraint.

Understanding wound dressings: foam dressings.

Foam dressings vary in composition and levels of absorbency. They are available in both adhesive and non-adhesive options and in a wide variety of sizes and shapes (Boxes 1 and 2). Some products have film backings that are waterproof.
