Abstract
Almost all documented clinical experience shows that occlusively dressed wounds heal more quickly and with less pain, tenderness, and swelling than undressed wounds. Clinical experience with occlusive skin dressings on acute and chronic wounds, on diseased skin, and on normal skin is reviewed. This report presents the effects of some of the newest oxygen-permeable and oxygen-nonpermeable occlusive dressings: three polyurethane adhesive films (Bioclusive, Op-Site, and Tegaderm), a polyethylene oxide hydrogel dressing (Vigilon), and a hydroactive polymer dressing (DuoDerm).
