| Multicenter clinical evaluation of a hydrocolloid dressing for leg ulcers (1985) | |||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||
| The need for a moist environment for the normal healing process led to the development of occlusive dressings. Results from this study support the contention that a moist wound environment is favorable to the healing process in humans as well as in animal models. Hydrocolloid dressings are effective in the practical daily management of chronic and even refractive ulcerations of the lower extremities and offer a time-saving treatment alternative with a high degree of patient acceptability. | |||||||||||
