Wound infection under occlusive dressings
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1991It is often supposed that occlusive dressings potentiate wound infection. However, even though heavy colonization by skin and wound flora is often seen under certain types of occlusion, clinical infection is not a frequent occurrence. Commensal wound flora consists of a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms and fungi which do not appear ...

Occlusive dressings and wound healing
Clinics in Dermatology, 1994Abstract Over the last 15 years, there has been explosive growth in the use of occlusive dressings as an aid to wound healing. In 1980 synthetic wound dressings were rarely sold, whereas in 1987 it was estimated that $350 million was spent on these dressings.

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

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

Moist Wound Healing with Occlusive Dressings: A Clinical Focus
Dermatologic Surgery, 2001The concept of moist wound healing, which is facilitated by the application of occlusive dressings, dates back to 1615 BC, and the technique is currently supported by a relatively large volume of data. It is clear that occlusive dressings are in many cases associated with more rapid reepithelialization, a reduced risk of infection, and more rapid wound

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.
