About this deal

Alginates can be rinsed away with saline irrigation, so removal of the dressing does not interfere with healing wounds. This makes dressing changes virtually painless. Alginate dressings are very useful for moderate to heavily exudating wounds [10]. Lo S-F, Chang C-J, Hu W-Y, et al. The effectiveness of silver-releasing dressings in the management of non-healing chronic wounds: a meta-analysis. J Clin Nurs 2009; 18:716-28. Dressing” is the word medical professionals use to describe the materials placed on top of a wound or incision. After a hand injury or surgery, your physician may use a dressing to keep your wound clean and protected. There are several kinds of dressings used for wounds and incisions on the hand and arm. While your wound heals, you may use more than one kind of dressing. Sometimes even with a minor procedure, a patient may feel anxious and nervous. We can give you medication to relax you; however, if you do take the medication, someone should come with you to drive you home.

Please note: If you have a pacemaker or defibrillator, please notify the surgical nurse with you the day of your surgery. Tandara AA, Mustoe TA, Mogford JE. Impact of hydration on MMP activity. Wound Repair Regen 2004; 12:A6. Ointment is a cream or gel used to keep a wound or incision moist. Some ointments such as Bacitracin, Neosporin, Polysporin, and Triple Antibiotic Ointment have an antibiotic in them. Other ointments such as Vaseline and Aquaphor do not have antibiotic in them. If they are used, ointments are usually the first layer of a dressing, applied directly onto an incision or wound. You only need a thin layer of ointment to keep the wound moist, just enough to make it look greasy. You can apply ointment with your finger or using a q-tip.

From the Blog

Films are semi-occlusive dressings usually made up of transparent thin sheets of polyurethane (polymer) coated with a layer of acrylic adhesive. Polyurethane sheets are waterproof and impermeable to bacteria and contaminants. Although these dressings cannot absorb fluid, they are permeable to moisture – allowing one-way passage of carbon dioxide and excess moisture vapour away from the wound. Film dressings are typically used in combination with gauze or other dressings and act to maintain the moisture content of clean wounds. There is increasing evidence that the use of semi-occlusive dressings results in less epidermal cellularity, less epidermal proliferation, and less pro-inflammatory epidermal signalling compared to non-occluded control wounds [5,6,7]. Choosing the clinically indicated dressing is based on knowledge of how that particular dressing works, the wound type, location and size, patient’s preferences and lifestyle – we are not treating the wound, we are treating the person who has a wound using our understanding of the wound healing process, and our experience in wound management.

Taylor, Isaac (2005). Words and Places Or Etymological Illustrations of History, Ethnology and Geography. Kessinger Publishing. p.288. ISBN 978-1-4179-7157-2.Cover your wound with either a Telfa dressing cut to the size of the wound and secured with surgical tape or Band-Aids. Your physician may ask you to leave your dressing in place until you return for an appointment. This involves keeping your dressing clean and dry, as well as avoiding any activities that might disrupt, wet, or dirty your dressing (i.e., strenuous activity, lifting, etc.) That typically means using a sealed plastic bag over the arm and hand while bathing. Cadexomer iodine is another antimicrobial agent. It is a slow-release form of iodine formulated to achieve consistent bactericidal levels within the wound bed without the cytotoxic effects seen with the use of povidone-iodine products. When applied to the wound, cadexomer iodine based products absorb fluids, taking away exudate, pus and debris. Cadexomer iodine dressings are most effectively used in the treatment of chronic, non-healing wounds such as leg ulcers (venous, arterial and mixed aetiology), pressure ulcers and exuding, infected wounds (in combination with systemic antibiotics). Other antimicrobial agents used in dressings include mafenide acetate, preparations of sodium hypochlorite solution (Dakin’s solution), etc.
