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,

Evaluation of Biological Dressings
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1980The 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 ...

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2008
Advances in cellular biology and knowledge in wound healing and growth factors have given us a wide variety of choices to attack the problem of the complex burn wound. Split-thickness skin grafting with autograft is at present the standard of care. It, however, is not an ideal substitute and frequently is not available for full-burn coverage.

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 ...
