For different types ofwoundslike burns, ulcers, and skin disorders, specific types of dressings are available.Wounddressings are thus classified into traditional, biological, polymeric, conductive, and hydro-conductive dressings. Traditionalwounddressings have been applied as standard wound care since 1970...
