PPT-Analysis of the Fluid Handling of Foam Dressings using a Porcine Simulated Wound Model

InVitro 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.

By: Kathryn Fox, RN. Ferris State University. Background. Preventing pressure ulcer (PU) formation in the hospital setting is an ongoing clinical problem. The Joint Commission (2008) found that more than 60,000 patients expire annually related to pressure ulcer complications. Decreasing pressure ulcers acquired in the hospital setting is especially important due to the economic climate of healthcare cost reduction. .
