Introduction. : Fluid controlling capabilities of advanced wound dressings are of paramount importance when it comes to managing wound exudate. Poor wound exudate handling by a wound dressing can lead to fluid leakage from around the dressing or strike through, both of which can lead to soiled clothing and malodour; exacerbating patient social isolation. . In-Vitro. Roberts S. ., Lovett J., . Stephenson . C.. Introduction: . The handling of fluid by wound dressings is paramount to their overall performance in the treatment of chronic wounds. The inability of a dressing to manage wound exudate can lead to maceration of the wound bed, leakage of fluid from dressings onto surrounding clothing or bedding, or drying out of the wound leading to ineffective moist wound healing. It is important therefore to assess the fluid handling properties of dressings using a method that simulates clinical wound conditions.. The 32. nd. Biennial . Western Coatings Symposium.
