Initial hand dressings for burned hands should be compatible with preservation of skin substitutes and grafts, splinting, and active motion. We have developed a standardized glove dressing directed at these requirements. Early experience with this glove dressing has included feasible clinical application, 7- to 10-minute application time, and 90% preservation of total active range of motion in a normal hand placed in the dressing under test conditions.

Introduction: low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) disproportionately bear 90% of global mortality from trauma, yet robust emergency medical services (EMS) are often lacking to address the prehospital injury burden. Training lay-first responders (LFRs) is the first step toward formal (EMS) development in (LMICs). However, a gap remains as LFR first aid kit supply usage, appropriateness, and decay rates have yet to be studied but remain critical information for building sustainable LFR programs.

We aim to review modifiable risk factors and practices for surgical site infections (SSIs) reduction in cutaneous surgeries. The existing norms are assessed with the latest evidence, with the aim of enhancing and optimizing intra and postoperative strategies. This review seeks to offer an updated summary of the results of evidence for SSI reduction strategies tailored for practicing general dermatologists.
