Rajendran S., Rigby A. J., Anand S. C. (2007). Venous leg ulcer treatment and pr Abstract: Purpose. Silver wound dressings are widely used in the treatment of burns. Dressings differ in material characteristics, various antimicrobial activities, and ease of use. The purpose of this study was to evaluate both dressing performance and amount of pain during the dressing changes of 2 silver dressings Urgotul SSD® (Laboratoires Urgo, Chenove, France), and Contreet Ag® (Coloplast, Minneapolis, MN) in children. Methods. A retrospective cohort study was performed with 2 groups of 20 burns treated with Urgotul SSD and Contreet Ag until the wounds were healed or grafted. Seventy dressing changes in the Contreet Ag group and 67 dressing changes in the Urgotul group were evaluated. Every dressing change was assessed regarding the dressing performance (exudate, adherence, bleeding, and dressing application/removal), and pain. Results. Pain was “absent or slight” in 61 (92%) dressing changes with Urgotul SSD, and in 60 (85%) of the dressing changes with Contreet Ag. Dressing application in the Urgotul group was more often “very easy” (n = 33; 49%) or “easy” (n = 32; 48%) than in the Contreet Ag group, “very easy” (n = 25; 35%), and “easy” (n = 42; 60%). Contreet Ag had a greater ability to absorb exudate (“very good” n = 60; 85%, and “good” n = 11; 15%) than Urgotul SSD (“very good” n = 34; 51%, and “good” n = 13; 19%). Conclusion. Urgotul SSD and Contreet Ag are comparable regarding pain during dressing change. The dressings differ in their ability to absorb exudate and ease of application. Both dressings provided nearly painless wound management, and therefore were highly accepted by the nurses and especially the children being treated.

Appropriate secondary dressings are C-View (film) or Biatain Silicone (foam) depending on the exudate level, location and skin state Dressings are widely used to treat pressure ulcers and promote healing, and there are many options, including alginates, hydrocolloids, etc. In 2017, a network meta-analysis of dressings and topical medications for pressure ulcers has been performed. This work concluded that there is currently insufficient evidence to determine whether any dressing or topical treatment promotes the healing of pressure ulcers over other methods. However, it is worth noting that many of the trials in this review are small and carry a high risk of bias (Westby et al., 2017). Only one of these studies had a low risk of bias, which compared the effects of local collagen and hydrocolloids on pressure ulcer healing. Although the results showed no significant difference in healing results between collagen and hydrocolloids, the cost of using collagen was more than double that of hydrocolloids (Graumlich et al., 2003). UrgoClean Ag must not be used during hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy without an oxygen mask (risk of combustion due to the presence of fat). This contraindication does not apply for hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy with an oxygen mask if the oxygen concentration inside the chamber is less than 25% and if UrgoClean Ag is not applied on the area over which the mask is placed.

It is able to absorb exudate and donate fluid at the same time, dependent on the condition in different areas of the wound bed. Providing a moist wound healing environment. In addition, the Ag+ ions give UrgoClean Ag an antibacterial activity that could help reduce the local bacterial load. The Ag+ ion has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, and is particularly effective against Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Streptococcus pyogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (pyocyanic bacillus), the microorganisms most commonly implicated in infected wounds. The antibacterial activity of the dressing helps reduce odour caused by microorganisms present in the wound. UrgoClean Ag reduces the bacterial population of the biofilm within 24 hours and for 7 days (tested in vitro on S.aureus and P.aeruginosa). Medihoney® Antibacterial Honey Tulle Dressing protects the wound by creating a barrier against wound pathogens, including antibiotic resistant strains, and therefore reducing the risk of infection. The osmotic action produces an outflow of body fluid which assists the removal of wound bacteria, endotoxins, debris and slough, providing a cleaner wound, rapidly removing malodour and helping to reduce the inflammatory response, oedema and exudate levels. Granulation and epithelialisation are enhanced through provision of the optimal healing environment.

Precautions For Use:- As UrgoTul Ag/Silver can adhere to surgical gloves (latex), it is recommended that gloves should be moistened with normal saline to facilitate handling of the dressing. The use of this dressing does not dispense with the need for appropriate systemic antibacterial treatment for infected wounds, in accordance with local treatment protocols. Brennan M. B., Hess T.
