Effective management of wound healing is a considerable challenge for clinicians. Patients underlying condition, accurate assessment of the wound and exudates, as well as selection of an appropriate dressing is all important factors for success. A variety of dressings are available to the clinician for the management of exudates. Hydrofiber dressings are a relatively new concept, and can be very cost effective because they can be worn for several days at a time. This report will review clinical evidences on the use of Hydrofiber dressing for the management of epithelial lesions, deal with current knowledge on the mechanism of action of this compound towards the epithelial wound healing process, immunological aspects and will also discuss relevant patents.

Unlabelled: is to study the possibility of applying commercial wound coatings for treating infected wounds as a carrier matrix for bacteriophages.
Materials And Methods: Twelve varieties of commercial wound coverings based on biopolymers of natural and synthetic origin, a biological preparation Staphylophag produced by scientific-industrial association Microgen (Russia), registration certificate P N001973/01, and the 3196 test strain (GenBank JARQZO000000000) isolated from a patient with a burn wound have been used in our work. The ability of commercial biological wound coatings to absorb solutions was examined by immersing them in a physiological solution (pH 7.
Comparison of outcome of early tangential excision with autografting versus interactive antimicrobial dressing in deep-partial thickness burn patients: A retrospective analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares early excision and autografting (EG) versus initial non-operative treatment (INO) using modern antimicrobial dressings for deep-partial thickness burns in South Asian patients.
- Results show that EG patients had significantly better wound healing outcomes, with faster healing times and shorter hospital stays compared to INO patients.
- INO patients had a higher rate of complications and a considerable portion required delayed grafting, indicating that EG may be the more effective approach for this type of burn treatment.
A Comparison of Incisional Dressings and Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy for the Prevention of Infection and Wound Complications After Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri.
Background: Incisional dressings may decrease wound complications and joint infection after total hip and knee arthroplasties (THA; TKA). However, there is no consensus on the superiority of a particular product. This study compared infection and wound complications among randomized controlled trials (RCTs) across various dressing types after primary THA and TKA.
