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.

Occlusive Dressing for the Nose and Ears
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1966OCCLUSIVE dressings significantly increase the efficacy of topical corticoids. For the nose and ears, production of such occlusion proves troublesome.
