<description><![CDATA[Time does indeed fly. It seems an age ago that I was in Cape Town attending a roundtable discussion, which was part of a project aimed at providing consensus on patient wellbeing. In fact, the conference only took place in January 2011, but the flood of developments in wound care since then shows how fast-moving this specialty of ours has become.

<description><![CDATA[The treatment of wounds with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has revolutionised practice over the past decade. However, implementation of therapy can be a difficult process for both clinicians and patients —conventional NPWT devices often require a lengthy procurement process to obtain rental units, and complex dressing applications. This document discusses the use of the SNaP® Wound Care System (Spiracur Inc, Sunnyvale, USA), an ultraportable NPWT system for ambulatory and active patients. This system is easy to use, accessible, and may allow earlier discharge from hospital, helping to reduce costs and improve quality of life.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Silver has considerable antimicrobial activity, even against many antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, and in recent years has increasingly been used in wound dressings to reduce bacterial bioburden[1]. Silver may be incorporated into dressings in a number of different forms, most notably as elemental silver or in the ionic state. Ag+ is the ionic form, which has been demonstrated to have a broad antimicrobial effect[2]. This document describes the mode of action, supporting evidence and practical application of a range of silver products (Askina® Calgitrol®), all of which contain ionic silver in the form of a patented silver alginate matrix.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Skin tears occur in those with fragile skin, including neonates and more frequently in the elderly. Some skin tears are unavoidable but many are considered to be preventable1.  It is important that clinicians have a good understanding of the effects of ageing on the skin and take appropriate measures to reduce the risk of patients developing skin tears. For those with skin tears, good assessment skills and documentation are important for effective management. This article will focus on why skin tears occur, the classification tools available and offers a practical guide to the prevention and management of skin tears. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Of the thousands of microorganisms in existence, there are only a limited number that colonise the human host. Some can cause disease (pathogens) and the remainder (non-pathogens) cannot because they do not have the mechanisms to do so. This is not always consistent and we now know that a microorganism can lose and acquire pathogenic (virulence) genes. We know these virulence genes can be switched on and off by environmental factors and more recently, we have come to accept that microorganisms do not grow as single species (as we see in the laboratory), but as a community or biofilm in the host. In addition, we know that there can be an interaction of a pathogen and a non-pathogen and the combined effect on the host can be different to the effect of the two individual microorganisms.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Kendall™ AMD antimicrobial foam dressings are highly absorbent foam dressings that contain polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB — also known as polihexanide) an effective antimicrobial agent that has very low cytotoxicity. These dressings are particularly suited to the management of acute or chronic wounds with moderate to high levels of exudate where there is an increased risk or evidence of wound infection. The following article describes the use of this dressing in paediatrics in a hospital in Italy.

<description><![CDATA[Until recently, the gold standard treatment for covering full-thickness skin defects that required surgery was the use of a full-thickness skin graft in small defects and split-thickness skin grafts in larger instances. The use of full-thickness skin grafts is limited due to the size and availability of suitable donor sites. The use of split-thickness skin grafts can result in complications such as hypertrophic scarring, keloids or disabling contractures especially across joint surfaces. This has led to the development of dermal templates in order to improve the reconstruction of the dermis, which is very important for the quality and functionality of the reconstructed skin. This paper reviews the relevant aspects of wound healing and summarises the efficacy of an engineered dermal template called MatriDerm® (Medskin Solutions/Dr Suwelack) in a variety of acute and reconstructive wounds.]]></description>

<pubDate>Mon, 21 May 2012 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[The aim of this study was to assess the ability of an absorbent foam dressing in preventing post-operative wound blistering following hip and knee arthroplasty. Complications following hip and knee arthroplasty are surprisingly common with widespread reports of wound blistering, leakage and infection. The selection of suitable dressings for the treatment of such wounds is, therefore, an important part of surgical wound care management. Until 2001, a traditional absorbent dressing (Cosmopor® E; Hartmann) was used at Alingsas Hospital, in Sweden, for the management of surgical wounds but persistent leakage resulted in the need for frequent dressing changes, increasing the risk of infection. Wound blistering was also a problem. The introduction of an Aquacel® (ConvaTec)/Tegaderm™ (3M Health Care) dressing combination did address absorption concerns but wound blistering remained an issue. Mepilex® Border (Mölnlycke Health Care), an absorbent foam dressing incorporating Safetac® (soft silicone) technology, was subsequently introduced with the ultimate aim of preventing periwound skin blister formation during the post-operative treatment period following hip and knee arthroplasty. The absorbent foam dressing was applied to 146 patients who had undergone scheduled hip or knee arthroplasty. Dressings were changed on the fourth postoperative day or earlier if there was a clinical need. The post-operative wound status and dressing performance were recorded. ]]></description>
