Quantitative comparison of biological dressings

Journal of Surgical Research, 1973
Abstract 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 .

Burn Injuries in Children and the Use of Biological Dressings

Pediatric Emergency Care, 2013
Burns represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. In this article, a case discussion will serve as a platform for discussing the evaluation and treatment of burns in children. Use of various burn dressings such as hydrocolloids, polyurethane films, hydrogels, biosynthetic skin dressing, and biological dressings will be ...

Biological Dressings in Burns—A Review

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1980
A 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.

Antimicrobial properties of antiseptic-impregnated biological dressings

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1988
Three 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,

Evaluation of Biological Dressings

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1980
The use of biological dressings in the treatment of burns is reviewed. Many theoretical advantages were initially proposed, but time and controlled studies have disproved some of them. Biological dressings are nevertheless helpful in relieving pain, protecting exposed vital structures, reducing exudative protein and erythrocyte loss and evaporative ...

Update on Tissue-Engineered Biological Dressings

Tissue Engineering, 2006
Tissue-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 ...

The effects of biological wound dressings on the healing process

Clinical Materials, 1991
Three major biological dressings are available for the temporary closure of wounds: partial-thickness cadaveric human allograft skin, several forms of partial-thickness antibiotic-treated porcine xenograft skin, and human amnion. Generally, biological dressings reduce pain, close the wound to contamination and fluid loss, and prepare the wound bed for

Treatment of gastroschisis and omphalocele with biological dressings

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1975
Porcine skin grafts and human amniotic membranes have been used as biological dressings for the treatment of gastroschisis or omphalocele in 16 newborn infants. Eleven infants with gastroschisis were managed initially by the Silastic pouch technique but delayed healing resulted in separation of the Silastic sheeting from the wound margins and required ...

Biological Dressings for Skin Graft Donor Sites

Archives of Surgery, 1973
Three 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 ...
