Key features

ย„Wound dressings have evolved from simple wound coverings to more active wound management tools that directly interact with the wound environment

ย„No perfect dressing exists for all wounds but when used

ยญappropriately, dressings can improve healing time and cosmesis as well as reduce pain and infections

ย„Semipermeable or occlusive dressings provide a moist environment, retain wound fluid that contains growth factors conducive to healing, and promote a low tissue oxygen tension that stimulates angiogenesis and deposition of collagen

ย„The major types of moisture-retentive dressings include films, foams, hydrogels, alginates, gelling fibers, hydrocolloids, and superabsorbents
