A study to compare two film dressings used as secondary dressings

S Thomas et al. J Wound Care. 1997 Jul.

Abstract

Dressings manufactured from adhesive polymeric films have been used extensively in wound management for about 20 years. This report describes the results of a trial designed to compare the performance of two such dressings, used as secondary dressings, in a multi-centre randomised controlled community study involving 100 patients. Independent analysis of the study data revealed that, after adjusting for other effects, no genuine difference was demonstrated between the dressings in terms of their ability to resist wrinkling or prevent maceration (the primary outcome variable).
