Historical Perspective
For early humans most
wounds and injuries
were the result of
accidents and fighting.

World War I
With contamination of wounds by earth and dirt being widespread, leading to gas gangrene and many subsequent deaths.
Tulle gras dressings were developed as a low-adherent dressing.
Development of today’s dressing

The Development of Moist Wound Healing
George Winter (1927-1981)
A zoologist
Investigated wound healing in cutaneous wounds in the domestic pig. He later became interested in wound dressings and worked on covering wounds in an experimental model (using the pig) and observing healing rates.
Winter observed that wounds covered with an occlusive dressing healed faster than those left to dry out (Winter 1962). It was from this work that the principles of moist wound healing were developed.

Moist Wound Healing Dry Wound Healing
In a moist environment exudate bathes the
wound bed with nutrients, and many
modern dressing materials are designed to
maintain moisture.
Under dry conditions the bed of an open
wound rapidly dries out and forms a scab
made up of dead and dying cells.
New epidermal cells migrate under this scab
in the moist environment found under it, so
extending the healing phase

Ideal Dressing (1)
Turner(1985) evaluated the needs of healing wounds and listed the criteria that should be fulfilled by a good wound dressing :
Maintains high humidity between wound and dressing
Removes excess exudate and toxic components
Allows gaseous exchange
Provides thermal insulation
Impermeable to bacteria
Free from particles and toxic wound components
Allows removal without causing trauma during dressing change
![Page 10: Recent advacnce in Wound Dressing - AADO dressing_CH… · Recent advacnce in Wound Dressing Pang Chak Hau Nurse Consultant Yan Chai Hospital for AADO Wound Care Workshop 22 September](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051307/5ab6523a7f8b9adc638ddf76/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ideal Dressing (2)
Thomas (1990) evaluated and further expanded the functions of a dressing. In which, dressings should ensure that the wound remains:
Moist with exudate, but not macerated
Free of clinical infection and excessive slough
Free of toxic chemicals, particles or fibres released by the dressing
At the optimal temperature for healing to take place
Undisturbed by frequent or unnecessary dressing changes
At an optimum pH value

Ideal Dressing (3)
• Non-adherent / Capable of protecting the wound
from further trauma / Insulating Thermally /
Impermeable to bacteria / Non-toxic and non-
allergenic
• Capable of maintaining a high humidity at the
wound site while removing excess exudate
• Comfortable and conformable
• Requires infrequent dressing changes
• Cost-effective
• Long shelf-life
• Available both in hospital and in the community
Morison (1992) provided a nursing perspective of
criteria for an ideal wound dressing:

Hydrogels Used to help rehydrate sloughy
wounds and necrotic tissue to aid in the autolytic debridement of wounds.
e.g Intrasite gel, Duoderm gel, Clearsite gel, Nu gel.
Gauze that impregnated with a hydrogel can also be packed into the wound for the same purpose.

Alginates Alginates dressing products composed of materials obtained
from seaweed. e.g. Kaltostat, Sorbsan, Seasorb and Sorbalgon.
When applied to a wound , alginate form sodium alginate, a hydrophilic gel. They are practically insoluble in water and organic solvents but are biodegradable.
The physical properties of these products also have haemostatic effects
![Page 27: Recent advacnce in Wound Dressing - AADO dressing_CH… · Recent advacnce in Wound Dressing Pang Chak Hau Nurse Consultant Yan Chai Hospital for AADO Wound Care Workshop 22 September](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051307/5ab6523a7f8b9adc638ddf76/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hydrocolliods Hydrocolloids were originally introduced as stomahesive to protect
good skin around stoma. It was subsequently found that they improve the healing of excoriated skin.
May also be used in conjunction with a paste or powder version. The
paste or powder is used in a deeper ulcer or cavity, these products
convert to the hydrophilic gel when contact with wound fluid.
Autolysis of fibrotic slough or necrotic tissue within the wound bed is
enhanced by the interaction of the wound fluid with the composite of the
hydrocolloid.

The hydrocolloids wafers are covered with water-resistant foams or films that render them occlusive.
Duoderm GCF, Comfeel , Algoplague, Supersorb H, Tegasorb, Hydrocoll, Restore Plus
Hydrocolloid wafers give excellent protection against outside contamination and will maintain a moist surface.

Silver interacts with DNA and inhibits
cell division
=> stops formation of colonies
How does silver kill bacteria ?
Silver ions are bound to the
Bacteria cell wall
=> Block proteins important for
transportation of substances in
& out of the cell membrane
Silver interacts with enzymes
and block the respiration
system,
=> the bacteria will starve, the
cell membrane burst

Bacterial resistance to silver in wound care S.L. Percival, et al (2005) Journal of Hospital Infection, Vol. 60, Issue 1, May 2005, PP 1-7
“…. silver is included in many commercially available healthcare products. The use of silver is increasing rapidly in the field of wound care, and a wide variety of silver-containing dressings are now commonplace. However, concerns associated with the overuse of silver and the consequent emergence of bacterial resistance are being raised. ….. Despite the sporadic evidence of bacterial resistance to silver, there have been very few studies undertaken and documented to ascertain its prevalence. The risks of antibacterial resistance developing from the use of biocides may well have been overstated…..“
“Gilbert and McBains suggested that in wound care, hygiene should be emphasized and targeted towards those applications which have demonstrable benefits. “
P. Gilbert and A. McBain, Live and let die, Microbiol Today 31 (2004), pp. 62–63.

Hypergranulation Granulation tissue can be produced in excessive
amounts and rise above the level of the skin.
Epithelium will not cover this tissue and intervention is required to flatten the wound surface and so facilitate re-epitheialization.

Low Energy Laser light therapy (LLLT)
Laser phototherapy (LPT) is used in many biomedical applications to promote tissue regeneration, and it has been shown to possess several advantages, including the control of pain,
stimulation of the healing process,
anti-inflammatory action,
increase in the production of collagen,
increase in fibroblastic proliferation, and
increase in local microvascularization.
