COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

✔✔composites - ✔✔*protection*
one dressing made of two distinct products, bacterial barrier and absorbent payer
use in partial or full thickness wounds with minimal to moderate exudate
✔✔contact layers - ✔✔*protection*
non-adherent woven polyamide net that covers the wound base while allowing exudate
to pass through the secondary dressing
use in full thickness wounds with exudate
✔✔gauze - ✔✔*absorption*
fabric made of cotton, polyester, or rayon
use in partial or full thickness wounds with minimum to moderate exudate
may require frequent changes and can be painful/injure healthy tissue if left to dry out
✔✔wound filler - ✔✔*absorption*
absrobent paste/powder/beads/pad made of varied materials (starch, iodine,
polyethylene glycol, poloxamer)
use in fill thickness wounds with depth and minimal to moderate exudate
sensitivities to product may occur
, ✔✔hydrocolloids - ✔✔*protection & absorption*
semiocclusive product composed of hydroactive material with a semipermeable cover,
non-adherent to the wound bed
use in partial or full thickness wounds with light to moderate exudate
can cause maceration if saturated
✔✔hydrogels - ✔✔*hydration*
non-adherent dressing composed of water, glycerin, and polymers that donate moisture
to the wound
use in partial or full thickness wounds with minimal exudate
require a secondary dressing
✔✔transparent films - ✔✔*protection*
adhesive, semipermeable polyurethane membrane dressing
use on intact or partial thickness wounds with no to minimal exudate
use cautiously with thin/fragile skin
✔✔what is a refractory wound? - ✔✔a chronic wound that does not respond normally to
physiologic treatment
full thickness wounds showing no improvement in 2-4 weeks
partial thickness wounds showing no improvement in 1-2 weeks
✔✔collgen and MMP inhibitor dressing - ✔✔a protein based dressing that promotes
intrinsic collagen and ECM production by binding to excesive MMPs
✔✔electrical stimulation (e-stim) - ✔✔electrical current is delivered to the wound and
the periwound tissues
most often used in sstalled wounds to stimulate healing by increasing blood flow to the
area
✔✔hyperbaric oxygen treatment - ✔✔chamber that allows the pateint to breathe in
100% oxygen under pressure which causes the oxygen to be driven into the blood and
plasma
