It facilitates autolytic debridement, reduces pain, reduces scarring, activates collagen synthesis, facilitates and promotes keratinocyte migration over the wound surface and supports the presence and function of nutrients, growth factors and other soluble mediators in the wound microenvironment. Recent Advances. Wound dressings can be utilized to create, maintain and control a moist environment for healing. Moist wound dressings can be divided into films, foams, hydrocolloids, hydrogels and alginates. We are also including negative pressure wound therapy systems in the moist dressings. An optimal wound dressing should provide a moist environment and have an optimal water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and absorptive capacity. It should also protect the wound against trauma and contamination, be easy to apply, painless to remove and be esthetically acceptable or even pleasing. Interventions, particularly nitoring and treatment of the wound would be very advantageous. This way the state of the wound as well as the wear time of the dressing could be assessed without dressing removal or visit to the wound care center. In addition, an ability to adjust the WVTRs to the exudate level of the wound (or having a large absorptive capacity without changing the WVTR) would be useful. This feature would guarantee an optimal level of hydration of the wound surface throughout the treatment.Significance Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has become a valuable adjunct in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds in several surgical disciplines. Retained foams are among its side effects, and they pose a rare but devastating complication at the site of this therapy, which might be associated with wound-healing complications, infection persistence, repeated surgical revisions, and prolonged antibiotic courses.
