  • Title: [Effect of dressing materials on wound healing].
    Author: Linder R.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1998; 115():694-7. PubMed ID: 9931703.
    Abstract:
    In the early 1970s, a major revolution in the management of wounds began. Simple woven absorbents that kept the wound as dry as possible were superseded by occlusive dressings that provided moist wound healing. The wound healing process is influenced by control of moisture content, thermal properties, gaseous permeability, pH effects, and impermeability to micro-organisms. Low adherence of the dressing provides protection of the newly formed tissue and relieves the patient's pain during removal.
