Quantitative comparison of biological dressings
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1973Abstract A new animal model has been developed to compare simultaneously the effect of various “biological” dressings on the bacterial count in contaminated wounds. Using this model, amniotic membranes proved superior to allograft and xenograft skin in decreasing the bacterial counts in wounds contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa .

Biologic Dressings and Skin Substitutes
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1986Burn wounds require coverage for healing to occur. Many techniques have been utilized to achieve such a closed wound, including biologic dressings, autologous skin, and skin substitutes. These and other methods are discussed.

Dermatologic Surgery, 2009
Various biologic dressings have been developed in an effort to find the ideal skin substitute for use in acute and chronic wounds. There are many potential uses for such dressings, but no panaceas exist. Because millions of health care dollars are spent each year on wound care, and a great deal of patient morbidity occurs from these wounds, the search ...

Update on Tissue-Engineered Biological Dressings
Tissue Engineering, 2006Tissue-engineered biological dressings offer promise in the treatment of burns, chronic ulcers, donor site and other surgical wounds, and a variety of blistering and desquamating dermatologic conditions. For example, the prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers ranges from 4.4% to 10.5% of diabetics, resulting in 82,000 lower extremity amputations annually ...

Homograft Skin: A Versatile Biologic Dressing
AORN Journal, 1969The most important step during the recovery of the burn patient is the conversion of the open wound to a closed wound. The covering may be from regeneration of skin from residual epidermal elements or by the application of autograft. In large or untidy wounds, attempts have been made to use substitutes for the patient’s own skin.

The Hyphecan cap: a biological fingertip dressing
Injury, 1998An occlusive biological dressing, the Hyphecan cap, was evaluated in the management of full-thickness pulp defects of fingers and thumb in 20 consecutive patients. The cap was applied directly to the tip of the injured finger and allowed to separate gradually over the course of several weeks as new skin regenerated.

Biological Dressings for Skin Graft Donor Sites
Archives of Surgery, 1973Three methods of donor site management were tested in 17 patients to determine if any resulted in faster wound healing. Gross inspection and biopsies revealed no differences between donor sites left uncovered or those treated with fine mesh gauze. However, porcine xenograft coverage resulted in a significant incidence (35%) of increased inflammation ...

Antimicrobial properties of antiseptic-impregnated biological dressings
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1988Three antiseptics--chlorhexidine acetate, silver nitrate and povidone-iodine--were incorporated into biological dressings (human skin and amnio-chorion) and evaluated in vitro against disparate micro-organisms. Results indicated that antimicrobial levels of chlorhexidine and silver were released from the dressings over a clinically relevant time period,

BIOLOGICAL DRESSINGS FOR EXPOSED VASCULAR GRAFTS
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1975The frequent application of split thickness porcine skin grafts to cover an exposed vascular repair is a reasonable alternative to amputation in patients with severe extremity injury. It is essential that soft-tissue debridement be complete and at least one wall of the exposed vascular repair be supported by healthy, viable muscle.

Biological Dressings in Burns—A Review
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1980A history of the development of the various biological dressings is presented. Substances currently in use--homografts, heterografts (including amniotic membranes), collagen-based dressings, and synthetic films--are reviewed in terms of their indications for use, method of application, future, and advantages and disadvantages.
