  • Title: Exudate management in fungating wounds.
    Author: Grocott P.
    Journal: J Wound Care; 1998 Oct; 7(9):445-8. PubMed ID: 9887735.
    Abstract:
    This study evaluates dressing performance in the management of exuding fungating wounds. The Teler system of treatment evaluation was used to describe the results. The study forms part of a research project on the palliative management of fungating malignant wounds, in which individuals' experiences of living with such a wound were investigated in a multiple-case study design. The conclusions indicate that exudate management depends critically on dressing fit and optimum absorption and venting of excess fluid.
