PPT-A fluid handling assessment of foam dressings

Lovett J Roberts S Stephenson C 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 . DRESSINGS. Provides ideal environment for wound healing. Mimics the barrier role of epithelium and prevents further damage. Provides . hemostasis. and limits . edema. Controls the level of hydration and oxygen tension within the wound. 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.. Therapy. Lora Aboulmouna, Lisa Lewicki, Ryan Frye. What is NPWT?. The application of sub-atmospheric pressure to a sealed wound for the purpose of removing fluid and stimulating a cellular response through the mechanical stretching of wound tissue..

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. . in vitro. Klinik für Hautkrankheiten. Wiegand .
