Bench to Bedside Evaluation of an Innovative, Non-Bordered Foam Dressing for Use in Exudating Chronic Wounds. [PDF]
ABSTRACT To investigate a dimpled, non‐bordered foam dressing with a soft silicone wound contact layer, the research spans from bench (fluid handling performance) to bedside (clinical effectiveness on exuding chronic wounds). In vitro methodology was used to monitor the fluid handling capacity and fluid retention capacity of the investigational ...

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of the antimicrobial effectiveness of non-medicated hydrophobic wound dressings. [PDF]
Abstract There is an increasing use of non‐medicated wound dressing with claims of irreversible bacterial binding. Most of the data are from in vitro models which lack clinical relevance. This study employed a range of in vitro experiments to address this gap and we complemented our experimental designs with in vivo observations using dressings ...

The contribution of a directional preference of stiffness to the efficacy of prophylactic sacral dressings in protecting healthy and diabetic tissues from pressure injury: computational modelling studies. [PDF]
Abstract The sacral region is the most common site for pressure injuries (PIs) associated with lying in bed, and such sacral PIs often commence as deep tissue injuries (DTIs) that later present as open wounds. In complex patients, diabetes is common.
