EFFECT OF PLASTIC OCCLUSIVE DRESSINGS ON PSORIATIC EPIDERMIS [PDF]

open access: possibleBritish Journal of Dermatology, 1970
SUMMARY.— Serial biopsies have been performed on psoriatic lesions from the forearm in 13 patients in whom the lesions were occluded with plastic occlusive dressings for 2 weeks, and in 13 control psoriatic subjects. A complete granular layer was not present in the occluded or control lesions prior td the study.

Occlusive 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

Photosensitivity Following Treatment with Occlusive Dressings

Archives of Dermatology, 1970
Seven 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.

Archives of Surgery, 1990
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 dressings: A microbiologic and clinical review

American Journal of Infection Control, 1990
This 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, 2001
The 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
