Occlusive dressings: A microbiologic and clinical review
American Journal of Infection Control, 1990This review discusses the microbiology of normal skin and wounds and examines the rates of infection reported under both conventional (nonocclusive) dressings and all occlusive dressings, together with cost factors. The overall infection rate under conventional dressings was 7.1% in 1085 wounds, whereas under occlusive dressings on 3047 wounds the rate

background. Although occlusive dressings speed epithelization, reduce inflammation and tenderness, reduce the chance of infection, stimulate healing of chronic wounds, and produce less scarring, they are still underutilized by physicians and nurses. The principal reasons for their underutilization are fear of infection, the time needed for instructing

We studied the effect of different occlusive dressings and of air exposure on the growth of four pathogenic bacteria in wounds. Partial-thickness wounds on domestic pigs were inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Photosensitivity Following Treatment with Occlusive Dressings
Archives of Dermatology, 1970Seven patients who applied corticosteroids topically under occlusive dressings acquired severe first-degree burns after exposure to sunlight. The response was unusual because normal skin, occluded but not treated with steroid creams, was more severely burned than the diseased areas.

Fungus Infections Occurring Under Occlusive Dressings
Archives of Dermatology, 1963The efficacy of topical corticosteroids with occlusive dressings in the treatment of numerous dermatoses has been well documented. 1-5 However, this method of therapy is not without complications, and the two cases reported below add to the list. Some of the more common complications have been miliaria, folliculitis, heat prostration, and abscess ...

For more than a century, the practice of dressing a wound has had as one of its major rationales the prevention of infection. Dressings can theoretically protect the wound from gross microbial contamination and help to prevent the spread of infection to other patients on the surgical ward.

Nonoperative management of fingertip pulp amputation by occlusive dressings
The American Journal of Surgery, 1977Nonoperative management of fingertip pulp amputations has been employed in eighteen adults. After wound cleansing and debridement, the wound was covered by an occlusive dressing. Healing of the amputated fingertip occurred within four weeks. The healed fingertip had an excellent sensory perception, normal range of motion and an acceptable cosmetic ...

The incidence of dry socket following the use of an occlusive dressing
Journal of Dentistry, 1977One thousand and three patients were examined to assess healing following the extraction of teeth. Particular note was taken of the incidence of dry socket following these extractions, and a controlled trial using a soluble occlusive dressing (intra-oral adhesive bandage) over the extraction site was undertaken to monitor the effect on healing ...
