NPWT applies sub-atmospheric pressure inside a closed dressing to create a positive pressure that draws fluid and infection from a burn wound's surface. The pediatric burn centers in Australia treat more than 4000 kids for acute burns each year. Compared to traditional silver dressings, NPWT for...
the five most common wound types. The systematic approach to wound care provided in the wound care pathway and in the wound type specific pathways is designed with the goal of achieving a shorter way to wound healing b...
A meta-analysis conducted by Malone et al (2017) found that biofilm is prevalent in up to 100% of all chronic wounds. Biofilms in chronic wounds can be highly tolerant to antibiotics and antiseptics (Alves et al, 2021), so debridement and dressing changes are key to remove most bacteria, ...
A wound dressing is a sterile pad or compresses applied to promote healing and protect the wound from further harm. A dressing is designed to be in direct contact with the wound, as distinguished from a bandage, which is most often used to hold a dressing in place. Moreover, the increasi...
The moisture sensor was placed inside a foam dressing through which external fluid was injected in a controlled manner to mimic the wound exudate. This setup was used in this and all following trials. Initial sub-bandage pressure was at 40 mmHg. However, sub-bandage pressure was observed to ...
Wound healing is a complex process and rapid healing necessitates a proper micro-environment. Therefore, design and fabrication of an efficacious wound dressing is an impressive innovation in the field of wound healing. The fabricated wound dressing in t

In June 2023, JeNaCell (Evonik) introduced the wound dressing- epicite balance to the German market. The dressing is especially well-suited and adapted for the management of chronic wounds with low to medium levels of exudation, including soft tissue lesions, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ul...
[4]. Most of these patients receive the standard care, which involves assessment of the wound, regular wound dressing changes, offlfloading, antibiotics if infected, and perhaps debridement to remove necrotic or infected tissue [1,5–7]. Some patients receive m...
Alginate has also been broadly employed as a wound dressing for specifically exuding wounds by generating a slightly wet wound healing environment [174]. Some alginate-based dressings have been demonstrated to stimulate human macrophage activities in chronic wound ...
