Abstract

Biomechanical studies in our laboratory have provided a scientific basis for selecting surgical gloves and instruments, drugs, and dressings for traumatic wound treatment. This armamentarium has been incorporated into a disposable emergency wound treatment kit for use in the emergency department. Its upper tray is for wound cleansing, while its lower tray is used for wound closure. A clinical evaluation of the kit by emergency physicians was very favorable because it saved time, eliminating the need to search for and assemble the gloves, instruments, drugs, and dressings for wound treatment.
