Wound pain can have a profound effect on a person’s life and is one of the most devastating aspects of living with a wound. In addition to pharmaceutical…
Conventional dressings (e.g., gauze, bandages) could simply cover and protect the wound while failing to maintain a moist environment at the wound site. They have no direct effect on the wound with poor biocompatibility and may cause secondary injury when replaced or removed. Thus, they are ...
development of a novel, non-cytotoxic, biocompatible therapeutic agent for infected chronic wounds, ulcers, and skin lesions involving MDR pathogens via their incorporation into scaffolds, composites, patches, microgels, or formulations for microneedles, dressings, bandages, gels, or other drug-delivery ...
In daily care related to the treatment of wounds there is a great concern about the techniques used for the removal of bandages and medicines applied to the lesion and, consequently, its sanitation. This process can be very painful for the patient, which means that special attention is ...
Ointments in the form of cream or natural oils, gels, gauzes, and bandages are among the wound dressings currently available, due to their unique combination of high water content, softness, flexibility, and biocompatibility [4–8]. They generally consist of natural (e.g., chitosan, cellulose...
The risk of infection is influenced by the type of wound dressing and is usually increased by inappropriate wound care, such as time elapsed between bandages change. The extent of nonviable exogenous contamination influencing the type of microbial load and the synergic level of virulence expressed ...
