[Polyurethane foam dressing. Assessment of its therapeutic effects in the treatment of moderate- to highly-exudative chronic ulcers].

The authors evaluate the behavior of Skinfoam Polyurethane Foam Dressings in the treatment of bed sores and vascular ulcers having a moderate to high exudation level by means of a multi-centric, prospective, open, observational study of a series of clinical cases.
