Abstract
Preclinical assessment procedures for wound dressings have been established taking into account the important parameters of tensile mechanical properties, conformability to body surfaces, water-vapour transmission and gas permeability. A new test has been specifically developed to assess dressing conformability, while the other parameters were assessed using established techniques. The procedures aid clinicians by providing a screen reducing the number proceeding to full expensive clinical trials. They are also of assistance to manufacturers in their bid to optimize the characteristics of dressings and evaluate candidate materials.
