Occlusive dressings reduce or eliminate wound pain, increase the speed of reepithelialization in acute wounds and stimulate debridement and healing of chronic ulcers. During the first 10 to 14 days, a large amount of fluid may accumulate under the dressing, but this fluid is seldom the result of infection. Films, foams, hydrocolloids and hydrogels have
