Some Basics
Application of moist wound healing by adding moisture to dry wounds Absorbent dressings to absorb wound
exudate Debridement A dry cell is a dead cell

Moist wound healing
Moist wound healing was started by Dr. George Winter in about 1962 when he
found that a moist wound healed twice as fast as a dry wound.
With the concept of moist wound healing the
purpose of products has expanded from hemostasis, prevention of infection and wound protection.

Wet-To-Dry and Wet To Moist Dressings
Wet to dry became the gold standard of wound care and is still often used and sometimes appropriate.
The more advanced dressings cost more
OR do they?

Wet to Dry - Wet to Moist
Consider the cost of the dressing Cost of nursing labor Indirect costs, gloves, biohazard waste Cost of duration, how long it takes to heal Wet to dry needs to be done at least twice a
day More advanced product can be left on
longer, some up to 5 to 7 days

More on “wet to dry” dressings
When a wound is open to air, it can take up to 4 hours for it to warm back up for healing
One study showed that bacteria were capable of penetrating 64 layers of gauze
Another study showed that a semiocclusive dressing total cost was $15.90 while wet to dry total cost was $25.31

Hydrocolloids
Original patent in 1953 First used in ostomy flanges (1980) First used as wound dressing in 1989 Occlusive Impermeable to bacteria and fluids Facilitates autolytic debridement Minimal to moderate absorption Thermal insulation
![Page 11: Wound Product Categories · Consider the cost of the dressing Cost of nursing labor Indirect costs, gloves, biohazard waste Cost of duration, how long it takes to heal Wet to dry](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5f8bcf18c1d75f477a1cb127/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hydrocolloid Indications
They once were the “gold standard” BUT With the advent of silicone dressings Hydrocolloids are not used as often Can be a primary or secondary dressing Partial or full thickness wounds Wounds with slough or necrosis Some select pressure ulcers
![Page 12: Wound Product Categories · Consider the cost of the dressing Cost of nursing labor Indirect costs, gloves, biohazard waste Cost of duration, how long it takes to heal Wet to dry](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5f8bcf18c1d75f477a1cb127/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Silicones
Silicones are becoming widely established in wound care.
They make ideal adhesives because they are highly compatible with the skin and can be rendered soft and flexible.
Combine that with properties which promote wound healing, water-vapor and gas permeability and the outcome is gentle adhesive properties that are kind and beneficial to the skin.
Silicones also help scars to heal, making them look more attractive and less conspicuous.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
In 1996, KCI (Kinetic Concepts) introduced this innovative approach to the treatment of serious, complex wounds through the use of sub-atmospheric or negative pressure.
![Page 25: Wound Product Categories · Consider the cost of the dressing Cost of nursing labor Indirect costs, gloves, biohazard waste Cost of duration, how long it takes to heal Wet to dry](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5f8bcf18c1d75f477a1cb127/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Wound negative pressure
NPWT promotes wound healing by applying a vacuum through a special sealed dressing. The continued vacuum draws fluid and waste from the wound.
It includes a vacuum pump, drainage tubing and a dressing kit. It has been indicated that wounds heal 60% faster with NPWT.
![Page 26: Wound Product Categories · Consider the cost of the dressing Cost of nursing labor Indirect costs, gloves, biohazard waste Cost of duration, how long it takes to heal Wet to dry](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042613/5f8bcf18c1d75f477a1cb127/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Negative Pressure
In these 18 years, other companies (13 vendors) have developed negative pressure therapies
Some of them use gauze instead of foam often with good results.

Hydrogels
Water or glycerin based gels Impregnated gauzes or sheets Not used for highly exudating wounds Do maintain a moist healing environment Promote granulation and epithelialization Facilitate autolytic debridement Soothing and reduce pain

Chronic wounds
In 2009, more than 5.7 million in our US had chronic wounds.
Global economic burden of wound care is approximately $20 billion annually.
NOT taking into account the impact on quality of life.

Reimbursement
In hospitals, since 2008, CMS will not pay for pressure ulcers developed after hospital admission.
In Home Care must assess for pressure risk and implement preventive measures; must use moist wound healing for pressure ulcers
Wound care deterioration is monitored by CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid)
