Objective: To provide ‘in use’ clinical data to support exudate management in patients with moderately to highly exuding wounds with bordered superabsorbent wound dressing with a silicone adhesive interface. Method: This study was an open-labelled non-comparative study. Patients included in the study were selected by the clinical investigator(s) according to whether the patient required a dressing for the management of moderately to highly exuding wounds. Results: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical objective in relation to exudate handling (moderate to high) with a superabsorbent silicone border dressing (Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border; SAP silicone border dressing; designated RespoSorb Silicone Border in some countries). The SAP border dressing had met the clinical objectives relating to exudate management, affirmed by the health professionals with a yes response in 94% of cases. Additionally, the health professionals rated the handling of exudate as excellent/good (78%) and most (80%) reported that they would use the SAP silicone border dressing again. Allied to this was the fact that the SAP silicone border dressing improved the wound edge and periwound skin conditions (29% and 36% of patients, respectively). Regarding dressing retention, the SAP silicone border dressing retained its position in 72% of patients. For wear time, the largest proportion of dressing changes, both pre-study and during the evaluation period, was every third day (45% and 44%, respectively). But there was a shift to extended wear time with use of the SAP silicone border dressing with 72% of patients' dressing changes being every third day or longer. Conclusion: The SAP silicone border dressing was successful in managing wound exudate in moderately to highly exuding wounds and consequently this had a beneficial impact on the wound edge and periwound skin. Overall, there was a positive effect on wound bed preparation and in turn the healing response was progressive. This study has shown that the SAP silicone border dressing successfully controlled exudate and provided positive benefits when used in the treatment of patients with moderately to highly exuding wounds.

Objective: Management of any wound, either acute or hard-to-heal, might involve the use of multiple and different wound dressings in its treatment. This approach is necessary to overcome the myriad of clinical challenges the wound presents, as well as any underlying comorbidities that might affect the clinical outcomes. This article describes the clinical effectiveness of a coordinated wound dressing treatment regimen. Method: This was an open-labelled non-comparative study involving patients with a variety of hard-to-heal and acute wounds of differing levels of severity, but all of which required removal of devitalised tissue to enable wound healing to progress. The first phase used the hydroresponsive wound dressing HydroClean (PAUL HARTMANN AG, Germany). The PUSH score was used as the primary measurement parameter. Results: A total of 86 patients (38 male/48 female), with a mean age of 67.7±21.7 years, took part in the study. The results showed that the hydroresponsive dressing was effective in managing wound exudate production and promoting wound cleansing and debridement, supporting good wound bed preparation. Wound closure was observed in 16/86 (18.6%) wounds at the end of the study (20 weeks). This enabled clinicians to switch to alternative wound dressings to promote subsequent clinical healing outcomes. Conclusion: In this study, the hydroresponsive wound dressing was highly effective in preparing a clean wound bed such that the next stage of wound healing could be supported.

Wound Healing Rate

Pressure ulcer or pressure sore is one of the complications seen in bedridden patients. Management of these ulcers is often challenging. But there is no well-established method that accelerates the wound healing rate. Various adjunctive methods are used for wound bed preparation before definitive reconstruction plan is made. Here we describe our experience in the role of insulin therapy as an adjunct in the management of pressure sores.
