  • Title: Exploring the concept of moist wound healing and its application in practice.
    Author: Benbow M.
    Journal: Br J Nurs; ; 17(15):S4, S6, S8 passim. PubMed ID: 18983024.
    Abstract:
    The concept of a moist wound environment for optimal healing has been promoted since the early 1960s. With few exceptions, improved healing rates, less painful dressing changes and better quality scarring result from wounds treated with dressing products that manage exudate effectively. An understanding of how wounds heal is necessary to both predict and anticipate how they will react to different dressing products so knowledge of those dressing products is essential.
